Why anyone with a name like “YoHo” would ever get into a name-calling spat is totally beyond me.

AOC´s response was perfect.

Yoho the Yahoo.

(Yoho the Asshole is more accurate, but less mellifluous.)

Am glad that AOC exhibits the same rapid response sentiments similar to Nancy Pelosi, and yet in her own unique way! Kick ass, AOC!

When it comes to snappy comebacks, AOC operates up there at Chrissy Teigen levels. I’ve never seen anyone beat her, she’s just too quick and Twitter-savvy. Of Ted Yoho’s ability to think quickly or at all we will not speak.

Every time I think I couldn’t possibly love this woman any more she goes and reminds me how often I am so very wrong. :heart:

Honestly if your name would be suitable for a kids’ TV clown show, “Yoho,” “Bongino,” names like that, you should probably not think about a career in the public eye. Just my opinion there. It’s like having a face made for radio.

“Trump” comes to mind when thinking that way…

I am so happy that AOC is in Congress, and that Ted Yoho will be gone come January.

“You are out of your freaking mind,” Yoho told the Democratic lawmaker for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

Old adage:

Show my poverty and I’ll show you crime
Show me crime and I’ll show you poverty.

Bet YoHo wouldn’t have the balls to say that to a male lawmaker. Ted, you’re so brave.

God, I love her.

She’s more left leaning than I am, but she knows how to get things done and knows how to shut down the assholes on the right.

Get ready to go on unemployment, Rep. Yahoo. You are WAY past the expiration date on your carton.

Oh, and too bad you want to cut unemployment benefits- you’re gonna need 'em come January.

Don’t tell me, let me guess: he’s a straight white male who describes himself as a Christian. Am I right?

Ted Yoho (Asshole-FL) is a veterinarian from the Florida panhandle. No one should pay any attention to anything he says. He’s one ho short of a bottle of rum.

Besides, he’s already announced that he won’t stand for reelection in 2020.

So Yoho is one of those guys who thinks that if he says it he can then deny it, like Roger Stone and his racist comment the other day. Even as I type, Yoho and his buddies are trying to think of a plausible “what I actually said” line. My guess: " I was saying that in the old days, women like that would likely be sentenced to a ducking, which would be totally wrong."
Coward.

“economic desperation” caused by the coronavirus pandemic — as well as the delayed delivery of federal stimulus checks and unemployment payments — that have contributed to the increase in reported crime

yeah, this is predictable, desperation, hunger, fear and hopelessness will drive up crime every time

OT: I was telling my family about the situation in Portland and my experience in life with conflict outcomes, seems to me those who fight with true passion on their side are almost always the victors (not to say a steep price is not paid); see Vietnam. So out of the two main opposing forces in Portland, who is the side with the true righteous passion? The out of town ICE goons or the mothers fighting for the children’s’ futures, the Navy Vet fighting to preserve the Constitution, and their compatriots?

So unfortunate how ugly this whole thing has turned, what a disappointment
