Reporter: GOP’s Verbal Slur Against Rep. Ocasio-Cortez ‘Touched A Nerve’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Republicans are scared of AOC
@SPZ Aruba what has she said that’s worse?
@SPZ Aruba You are just like “Yahoo”, insecure and delusional.
@la mulata linda Martinez you’re like Google. Pretentious and socialist.
@Gooniddly You hoping I forgot the F-Trump tirades and remarks against Republicans that almost got them censured if Pelosi didn’t spin it away? “But they were so young.” Yeah right.
@Gooniddly Numbers one on a squad comments on Trump search.

Another strong candidate for Trump’s inner circle? He’d fit right in.
Maybe this was an audition for that inner circle position.
Ycccc6y q
I,
Trump is likely to lose heavily. One prays that he transfers power peacefully. Who knows.
I never heard of Ted Yoho before this incident, and I suspect that after November, we will never hear from him again.
Let us hope.
He’s more likely to run for president and win. This is America.
Its kind of a dead issue in that respect. He’s already stated months ago that he wasn’t going to run for reelection this November.
People need to get out in record numbers to VOTE! No Excuses
Yoyo man is spinning and dancing on a string.
AOC for president after Biden.
Or vice president
To young isn’t she 29? Maybe in 2028
Advanced Media Network
Nope
Too young. Maybe in 20 yrs.
Remember Trump has said some things about women that were just as bad.
Vote Trump 2020
Actually, DRUMPF 😈 has set the bar pretty low!! But these GOP 😈 CREATURE 😈 DEMONS 😈 are really trying to out do him!! Their mother’s must be SO PROUD!!
@SPZ Aruba _Riiiiiiight…_
@SPZ Aruba FUKOFF STOOPID. FUKOFF BACK TO INFOWARS
@Patrick Hill BWAHAHA FUKOFF STOOPID
Called a fellow congresswoman names and proceeded to lie and used his wife and dtrs as an excuse and shield. Just because you have a wife and daughters doesn’t automatically make you respectful to women.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a flower. She is a Tree!!
Democrats loser’s Vote 2020
Pete Cerda I’d call her a willow tree as she can bend no matter what misogynistic storms she has to weather. And she will always be rooted in truth and will still be left standing when Yoho gets uprooted or cut down by voters soon.
@Activated By333 So True.
yes exactly!
Nothing surprises me with these Republicans.
Me too feel sorry for their wives and daughters..
On the steps of the US Capitol? There were definitely cameras on them with audio. Roll the tape.
Not till the whole of the gop and their leader, the pres, come out in support of yoho. Then the audio and or video will drop. Perfect campaign material. You can’t by op-research this good. Worth millions, probably billions.
[UPDATED] How many Americans have to die before the government start doing something real? US with per capita healthcare spending twice of Germany’s has 433 (so far and rising faster) deaths per million from coronavirus compared to Germany’s 109.
I have been in her shoes and its pretty terrifying when you’re taught to respect your elders and they use that as a badge to talk to their prey like that. My bully didnt like being challenged when they are wrong by any race of women. I feel bad for his wife if he is this way to strong women he works with I only hope he dont take out on his family
his wife smells of rotten fish
Nothing new, that’s what republican men do when a woman doesn’t agree with them. All you have to do is look at the comment section on any video on YouTube.
Having grown up in a family where there was violence and being the victim of spousal abuse I have seen men like him ( like his behavior) the tend to be abusuve to their wives and children behind closed doors they treat their wives as inferior people. Good for her to speak out for herself and many many women and young girls who have or will face thus in life by sime men. Bravo. Thus is bullying plain and simple and he is trying to put a modern progressive eoman in her “place”.
Steny Hoyer sold the women out; he accepted yoho’s “apology” and said AOC should too. That happens too often.
Who is Steny Hoyer to accept that non-apology for someone else? The fact that he’s a man who is effectively patting AOC on the head and patronising her – demonstrating her point yet again – is an even bigger cheek!
If he said something like that in front of a male member of her family he wouldn’t be able to apologize with his jaw wired!
If he had actually said “I apologise”, rather than “I apologise, but I can’t apologise for my passion or loving god”.
Once he resorted to offensive language and derogatory names he lost the moral high ground. He exposed his emotional maturity by shielding himself behind his wife and daughters with his insincere forced apology.
They had some choice words for EACH OTHER. They were less than cordial. He never said those words to her face.
What’s the big deal????
@Wayne Hasch No big deal using derogatory and offensive language to describe an elected official. No Code of Conduct required of elected Representatives. I’m sure he’d welcome the opportunity for his wife and daughters to recipients of vileness and bigotry especially since there’s no problem.
aoc is smart will not take crap
Just noticed the worst comb over ever on that CREATURE 😈 DEMON 😈 Yoho!! SAD!!
