A spokesperson for Republican congressman Ted Yoho denied that he called Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “a fucking bitch,” after he confronted the progressive lawmaker about her comments on poverty and policing.
Yoho’s spokesperson told ABC News, “He did not call Rep. Ocasio-Cortez what has been reported in the Hill or any name for that matter. … Instead, he made a brief comment to himself as he walked away summarizing what he believes her polices to be: bullshit.”
