John — Did you hear about the
fiery confrontation that happened on the steps of the U.S.
Capitol?
AOC accosted by GOP lawmaker: The Hill
Trump lackey Rep. Ted Yoho tried to bully Rep.
Ocasio-Cortez in a sexist, profanity-laced tirade.
He even got up in her face and wagged his pudgy finger
and called her “disgusting” and “rude.” The irony is not lost on
us.
John, as Americans, we will often
disagree. Members of Congress have a responsibility to the
citizens we serve to find consensus, and when we do disagree, to
treat each other with dignity and respect. But what Rep. Yoho
said crossed the line — using vile language to attack the young
Congresswoman (that we choose not to dignify by repeating), as
well as calling her “disgusting” and “out of her freaking mind.”
This was a shameful display of disrespect against one of
his own colleagues, and he’s yet to properly and directly address
his wrongs. Will you join us in condemning this atrocious
behavior and demanding Rep. Yoho apologize?

CONDEMN TED YOHO’S REMARKS
( [link removed] )
This isn’t the first time colleagues in Congress have
disagreed on the issues. In fact, there’s plenty of civil
disagreement when people care so passionately about the policies
at hand. Rep. Yoho’s response came from a place of deep
disrespect for the young Latina Congresswoman — it was
inappropriate, dehumanizing and has no place in these hallowed
halls of Congress.
Looking at the record, it seems like Mr. Yoho has some
priorities to straighten out that might be a better use of his
time than cursing out a sitting Congresswoman. After all, he was
one of the four members of the House to vote AGAINST
anti-lynching bill named in Emmet Till’s memory.
He voted down the bill that would make lynching a federal
hate crime because it was an, “overreach of the federal
government and tramples on states rights.” Hmm, where have we
heard that before?
Rep. Ted Yoho has got a lot to work on, the easiest of
which is crafting a meaningful and impactful apology to AOC. Will
you condemn his abhorrent remarks alongside Hank and other
Congressional Democrats and demand an apology by adding your
name?
