Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blasts Ted Yoho Over Confrontation: 'I Am Someone's Daughter Too'
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, fired back on Thursday against a GOP congressman who reportedly called her a profane name earlier this week, saying that she was taking a stand for all women to declare his behavior is «not acceptable.» «What I believe is that having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man,» Ocasio-Cortez said in an impassioned speech on the House floor addressing the incident with Representative Ted Yoho from Florida.
