Washington DC
United States Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday repeated an accusation that her Republican colleague, Ted Yoho used a profane gender-based slur towards her earlier this week in an interaction on the Capitol steps. “In front of reporters, Representative Yoho called me, and I quote, ‘a f**king bitch’,” she said on the House floor. “These are the words that Representative Yoho levied against a Congresswoman.” Yoho has not admitted or denied using the phrase but on Wednesday he denied directing that phrase toward Ocasio-Cortez.—Reuters
