“She’s making hay out of this, she’s fundraising off of this,” Yoho said.

Oh, you bet your ass she is, you fucking jerk.

Proof (yet again) that only those with something that resembles brains know when to shut up.

And yet AOC had no idea that when Yoho walked away what he said. Yoho why aren’t you talking to the Hill reporter?

Dude you’re shaming yourself.

He was too cowardly to say it to her face.

Well yeah, but he’s also exposing himself, so not a pretty sight.

My take is that he doesn’t remember what he said. Because what he said is what he says all the time, either out loud or inside his head.

He feels justified in saying it because in his small mind he believes it to be true.

Yeah, and he is going to get a hard pull down by his own party over the weekend.

The dude is retiring, and by continuing to try and play up his disgraceful behavior and remarks, he is actually helping our side. It would be one thing if he was running for re-election, but he isn’t.

Of course he is such a self centered asshole, they will probably have to have that discussion with him using baseball bats.

Sounds like Yahoo may have got a call from Trump, who reminded him of the pillars of Republicanism: never apologize, always lie, always attack.

And how much did he raise without even having to ask for calling her a bitch… the Anti-AOC crowd doesn’t need to be asked to donate, the do it out of spite or jealousy.

The Republican congressman accused Ocasio-Cortez of using their confrontation to her advantage politically all the while “making fun” of the incident in private.

So… He’s a Peeping Ted too.

’ I called her these names, I did not call her these names. This was strictly on policy,”

Yes, the Republican policy of demeaning and delegating women to second-class humans.
Another male in the " She’s using her rape to get attention." club.

Keep him talking. Great window on his party.

YoHo is too dense to understand that Hannity is just putting him on to make money for Fox and to line Hannity’s pockets.

C’mon, give him a break, he was calling the policy a fucking bitch. Uh-uh, uh-uh.

Stupid people just don’t when to just STFU.

Yoho doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. He will be put in his place, as he should be. Keep digging your own grave, idiot.

He’s retiring in January? Maybe he can use all his vacation days until then.
