\n Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was accosted and called a \u201cf\u2014ing bitch\u201d by a fellow member of Congress on the steps of the Capitol, she confirmed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The incident, according to The Hill, occurred Monday when Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), was coming down the steps of the Capitol after voting. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), meanwhile, was walking up the steps to cast her vote.<\/p>\n

Yoho told AOC in \u201ca brief but heated exchange\u201d that she was \u201cdisgusting\u201d for her recent remarks tying poverty and unemployment to the recent spike in crime in New York City.<\/p>\n

The progressive darling, according to the outlet, told Yoho he was being \u201crude.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two then kept walking their respective ways, but Yoho remarked after taking a few steps, \u201cf\u2014ing bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

AOC told The Hill reporter who witnessed the exchange that it was the first time another lawmaker had challenged her in such an aggressive way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat kind of confrontation hasn\u2019t ever happ<\/a>ened to me \u2014 ever. I\u2019ve never had that kind of abrupt, disgusting kind of disrespect levied at me,\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Asked about the exchange, Williams downplayed the incident and Yoho\u2019s language.<\/p>\n

Despite being in a position to hear the entire back-and-forth, Williams said he wasn\u2019t paying attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was actually thinking, as I was walking down the stairs, I was thinking about some issues I\u2019ve got in my district that need to get done. I don\u2019t know what their topic was. There\u2019s always a topic, isn\u2019t there?\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

AOC confirmed The Hill\u2019s account of the lawmakers\u2019 exchange in a tweet Tuesday, saying, \u201cI never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation\u2019s Capitol yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve it or not, I usually get along fine w\/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door. But hey, \u2018b*tches\u2019 get stuff done,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

In her second and third tweets on the matter, she slammed Williams\u2019 handling of the situation and accused him of accosting her too.<\/p>\n

\u201cGotta love Republican courage from Rep @RogerWilliamsTX: when he undeniably sees another man engaged in virulent harassment of a young woman, just pretend you never saw it in the most cartoonish manner possible and keep pushing,\u201d she wrote before adding, \u201c(He\u2019s lying, by the way. He joined in w\/ Yoho).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wild to me @RogerWilliamsTX is why would you blatantly lie to a reporter who saw this exchange? You were yelling at me too, about \u2018throwing urine,’\u201d the New York Democrat wrote.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Yoho did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment. He said \u201cno comment\u201d when reached by The Hill a few hours after the exchange.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Williams could not immediately be reached by The Post.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
