There they go again. Ready to destroy a man’s life for something that did not happen.

He denies the conversation went the way AOC claims so it’s a matter of who is more believable, who has more credibility.

Just for a different perspective I’ll link two articles from Fox News. The first one is one where AOC isn’t as offended as she appears to be later on.


This is Rep. Yoho side of their encounter. Rep. Ted Yoho denies 'accosting' AOC, claims Democrat is 'making hay' out of policy disagreement | Fox News

The corroborating observer of the situation does not help his claim.
 
This sounds like a he-said/she-said. Is there any audio? Any other evidence?
 
Assuming the charges are correct, Ted Yoho should also resign from Congress because he is a disgrace to all women.
 
He said / reporter said.

It’s totally believable. His “apology” wasn’t an apology.

Why is it so hard to say, “I initiated an encounter with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez that was beneath the dignity of this body. I said things that I should not have. I apologize to the gentlewoman from New York, and to the American people for causing this distraction”?

He does this, and doesn’t admit the actual words (which he denies) but apologizes for the tenor for the encounter and people can read into it what they want.

It’s so easy.

It is totally believable. It is also believable that a person would lie for political purpose. In my opinion, it is most believable that something said was heard wrong. This is the majority of my misunderstandings.

So there is no audio?
 
No, there is no audio. Just a he said/she said. AOC isn’t known for being the brightest bulb in that chamber. She also is known as being fairly dramatic when it suits her purpose. Seriously, one day she is owning the title she claims Rep Yoho gave her all over Instagram, the next she is all offended.

AOC never said she heard what was said, as far as I know. She is just repeating what the reporter said.

Did the reporter mishear? Could be. Yoho said he said Bull… Not as bad, but still not good.
 
Ted Yoho is 65 years old and still falls for AOC’s gambits??? That is not acceptable for a leader. She, like many radicals, says a lot of things in order to provoke an overreaction. A better tactic would be to ignore 90% of what she says and let her be the one who gets censured. Even Nancy Pelosi is smart enough to ignore most of what AOC says.

This is the cleanest quote I could find to copy here. Didn’t seem to bother her all that much.
“I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday,” she said. “Believe 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, “b-----s” get stuff done.”

What happened to this accusation then? If AOC is so credible why isn’t this all over the news also? It’s notable that Rep Williams didn’t call out Rep Yoho for his language if he did use the language AOC claims.
Ocasio-Cortez also accused Texas Republican Rep. Roger Williams of “yelling at me too, about ‘throwing urine.’” Williams’ communications director Heather Douglass disputed that claim.

“The Congressman did not participate in the exchange between Congressman Yoho and Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, nor did he hear what was said in their conversation,” she said. "Any comments overheard or attributed to Congressman Williams were part of a separate conversation that he and Congressman Yoho were having. Congressman Williams would have immediately condemned that type of language towards any colleague."

That’s why he resigned?

Assuming motive is always dicey. That is why the catechism tells us we have to avoid rash judgement by always assuming the best motives in others. The truth in a matter of political mud-slinging is not as important as perception, and splatter can hit unintended targets.

Is this a new standard? Is it a standard for all spokespeople or just for Republican spokespeople? Rep Williams apparently told his communications director and she released a statement.
