That's Republicans for you...

steaming pile of feces.

He's a Reep. Nuff said.

they all admire. Good publicity for him.

No real man feels he has to "put the little woman in her place". That is what a bully does! I hope that AOC takes that exchange for what it is - a reflection of who he is that has nothing to do with her!

just another Trump supporting GOP asshole.

I'm surprised that he didn't try and grab her like his sewer-spawn hero in the White House has done to so many women.

Lol, it would have been cool to watch Occasio-Cortez boot his fat Nazi ass down the steps if he had tried that.

YOLO - do it right; you only get one chance.

If you're waiting for an apology from Rep. Yoho, holding your breath is not advised.

I think the preferred spelling is "Yahoo"

think of other names to call him, but I best not

Then again, AOC knows how to handle this sort of thing.
However, I think "Yoho" should be made to tremble in his boots.

here's a local limbaugh station he gave an interview, maybe numerous interviews. it would be one wher ethe local blowhards will support his chickenshit attack:

AOC May be our first elected female President. So many good ones to choose from!

the Republican party has turned being an asshole into a guiding political philosophy

impotent prick.

(I know...high road and all, but these kind of men need a a daily taste of their own medicine.)

of Congressional Ethics

You can smell their fear of a strong smart woman.

Definitely. Especially a strong, smart non-white woman.

Poster child for the "tea party."

She is intelligent and capable. He is him.

so he can hang TruckNutz off the hitch.

A.O.C. scares the hell out of his kind.

What is it about these allegedly educated guys that are such anti-science jackasses? Like Ron and Rand (Dr. Typewriter) Paul?

I read this comment earlier today, explains a lot. AOC is everything he could never be.

"I don't think I'm going to blow any minds with this, but Ted Yoho is retiring after eight years in Congress, and has only passed one bill: Renaming a post office."

Other than it violates the GOP world view that urbanites are inherently violent and lazy (confusing, I know), and that the only thing that poverty should ever engender is the desire to work harder, to pull one up by one's own bootstraps, doncha know. To suggest to a GOPer that people do desperate things because they live in poverty and disease is to suggest that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. It's a non sequitur to them.

Oh, and it also might mean they'll have to kiss goodbye their tax cuts for the rich.

Nancy should strip of him of all standing except for votes. He's a scumbag.

Left unpunished, this behavior will breed more like it.

Sorry for not spelling it out.

…of MAGA. Sexist, racist.

She’ll hand you your ass in a heartbeat.

Horrid behavior but they see November looming.

Maybe that's why he feels so free to be abusive toward his female colleague - although in his district, this behavior would probably gain him votes.

This must be addressed. We can't let them get away with this or it will escalate quickly.

Not likely, but the house can do that.

Will the Republican leadership in the House reprimand him even if it's nothing that shows on his "permanent record"? Fat chance.

I think they'd go for it

I didn't mean to imply that the Republicans had control of the real House enforcement mechanisms, just that they'll once again provide de facto support for his behavior by not standing up to rebuke it.

my god, the evil of Republicans never ceases to amaze me

If he behaves like that in public toward a female colleague, just imagine how he treats the women and girls in his family behind closed doors.

Be prepared at all times. I'm afraid this is going to be a bloody election, the sights this country has never seen.

Take away people's hope, make them fear for their future, and you will see the anger rise in those people. An increase in crime is one of the unfortunate results of hopelessness and desperation.

Happy, secure people don't turn to crime.

AOC understands this, Ted Yoho apparently doesn't. Or, perhaps it's the messenger he has a problem with. Yoho represents a district in Florida that is over 76% white, and has only two cities, Gainesville and Ocala, which together comprise less than 30% of his district.
The guy doesn't seem to know how to deal with a strong Latino woman; I think he's afraid of her.

In Ocala, Republicans outnumber Democrats by 115,000 to 82,000, according to the Marion County supervisor of elections.

Yeah, that was my first reaction, wait, you DON’T believe poverty and unemployment might lead to a spike it crime? What are you, brain dead?

I’m seriously thinking of calling from here in Canada any saying “you think AOC is an f’in bitch? Well I think you’re a f’in piece of shit...” And go on in that vein until they hang up on me.

Do you think if we all do it he might get the message?

.

and fascism.

Official House page.

Good.

About fucking time.

(I know, wishful thinking).

The way Yoho used that word is exactly why I don't use that word.

I agree it is good.

What a pathetic loser.Keep your head high AOC we r proud of u!

Which is a gendered slur, so calling him that is literally insulting him because he is acting "like" a woman, which is sexist AF. Maybe just call him an asshole or jerk, hmmm? Maybe call no one a bitch, ever, just like you hopefully never call anyone the nword.

If you read the article, Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) response shows that he has no instinct to defend women. It seems a stretch that he was waiting to join a man in a confrontation and was pensively contemplating issues at the time. His solidarity with another right wing man while ignoring a female colleague in a situation bordering on the wrong side of creating a hostile work environment tells it all.

Make it very clear, Roger Williams is not going to defend your rights as a woman. Not even basic rights. He is deplorable. If not a bully he supports bullies. What a poor representative we have with him in Texas.

I'd have thought your typical Trumpist would be saying "yeah, unemployment is causing an increase in crime, therefore we must open the economy up fully - damn the coronavirus!!!".

I suspect "fucking bitch" and "disgusting" was his first thought, and then he tried to find something to justify it. Even if it makes no sense.

Certainly poverty & crime go hand in hand. Of course there are sociopaths but rich sociopaths are likely to become politicians like Trump.

her popularity and intelligence, and maybe because she's a librul.

armor around them. We need you. Malala Yousafzai remember her?
