Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lit up a Fox News producer to his face on Wednesday, who implored her to appear on the show of far-right pundit Jesse Watters.
"Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show," said the producer.

"He has sexualized me on his show, he has sexually harassed me on his show," replied Ocasio-Cortez by way of answer. "He has engaged in horrific sexually exploitative rhetoric."
The producer protested, saying, "That's not true."
"It is true, because he accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller," shot back Ocasio-Cortez. "So why dont you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman?"

(2,298 posts)She came to Plattsburgh, NY because Elise Stefanik could not be bothered.
People stood out in the rain in long lines in hopes of seeing her speak.
I was lucky enough to get into the venue..
She went outside in the rain and spoke to the people waiting.
She was an incredible speaker.
It says a lot about her that she spoke in the rain.

She's always so prepared and well-researched in hearings, so ready to combat wingnut lies, and willing to take the RW propaganda to the woodshed when they're brave enough to confront her.
