According to a freshman congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, from New York, congressman Ted Yoho of Florida “just came up on me, put his finger in my face, started calling me ‘disgusting.’” She added that Representative Roger Williams, a Texas Republican, was standing with Yoho.
She said Yoho, a veterinarian whose district is in northeast Florida, was upset at comments she had made at a virtual town hall about rising crime in New York City being the result of the coronavirus pandemic, poverty and rising unemployment -- not lack of policing.
Ocasio-Cortez, a waitress, added she didn’t know why Yoho, in particular, got so upset at her, and that she had never really spoken to him before. However, her ill-informed, antagonistic comments have annoyed many since she was elected.
