This is first time I’ve felt represented by my government.
Whait you guys have that feeling
SAME
@@user-sr6ix7vi2u I'm sorry I'm from Indonesia so I don't feel represented by my own government
@@arrielradja5522 omg i thought u were a man being rude- i apologize & so sorry
same and it's not even my government
She just compared Yoho with a bum from NY, or a drunk in a bar.
She did all that with great class.
She has NO CLASS!!!!!
Good for her in her speech!
@@MommaDramaForLife You Have NO CLASS!!!!
Why do racist caucasian men ALWAYS target women and children???? They NEVER go after men with that much energy. They know better
@@MommaDramaForLife the new youtube shows your old comments.. I swear all you caucasians do is talk about AOC NON STOP. What is your obsession with her
Behaviour like Yoho‘s should disqualify you from holding a public office. Absolutely unbelievable that this wouldn‘t end his career.
It would get anyone else fired for sure.
@@miekaash6831 Yeah, crazy that we hold people in public office to a lower standard than anyone else.
I also don't understand how this behavior doesn't mean getting fired...
If a congresswoman even used similar language one time she would immediately lose her job.
I don't even know the procedure for firing a representative.
She lichrally has to explain this to them like they’re children because they don’t understand. How sad.
Thank you Ms ocasio. You're my hero!! Eat her dust. Yuho what ever you're name is!!!
I can’t tell if you misspelled that on purpose or not... but “literally”
Can she explain her post election tweet about wanting to harm trump supporters?
Oh wait I eat children...
@Jack Marsden I’m on it guys
Literally every human on earth is related to a woman. It’s not an excuse.
Ren he didn’t give an excuse
She is disgusting, crazy and out of her mind!!! Good job Yoho!
Cry AOCUNT cry. Hahaha. “Teacher, he called me names!” Hahahahaha
Z Man did you watch the video????? The only one that’s crazy and out of their mind is you. You’re a part of the reason why the US is a laughing stock to every other country.
What do you mean? What a stupid logic! By that logic every human on earth is also related to a man...
Saying "im not sexist bc I have a wife and daughter" is the same as saying "im not racist bc I have black friends." 🤦♀️
Loved her speech & love that she stands aganist these despicable men.
Yeah and it's on a whole other level cuz literally EVERYBODY is related to a woman🤦
I don't understand how can you be racist (to black people) if you have black friends. You can be full of prejudices...but racist? Like a genuine question. If you have a black friend I'd assume that you don't care about their skin color.
Lord Tourette it’s only when you feel the need to mention them as if they’re your trophies this goes for anyone who says “I’m not racist I have black friends” or something like “I love women I have a wife” by saying something like that your basing your feelings and treatment of others based on people you know. I can see why one would be confused but I hope that helps
Amen
"I'm not racist I have a black phone case and I like dumplings"
Thats like saying “I’m not racist, my EX-President is a man of color, orange”
Keeping it relevant, love to see it haha
Hahahahahahahahahha
Lmaooo
LMAOOOO
A man that wears makeup
i can listen to her talk all day. she articulates herself so well and speaks with power and affirmation. outstanding representative.
That’s why the repubs hate her so much. She IS THE BOMB!!
@@buckjohnnie2642 yes, very intelligent!
She is a bit of a rambler and unprepared and tries to see everything through a class group conflict perpective.
Really. She's not a great speaker. She's gotten better but people project a lot of intelligence on this woman. I'm sure she's bright enough but far from brilliant. Its ok, few people are.
Buck i don't hate her. I do not like her politics nor that she is a puppet of the justice democrats. Her first chief of staff was the co-founder for goodness sakes. Until he had to leave for campaign fraud.
HAVING A DAUGHTER DOES NOT MAKE A MAN DECENT!!! SAY IT AGAIN AOC!!
It didn't make Trump a decent guy for sure
🖖😀🇨🇦🇺🇸🌍🙏💥🖐
The Amazing AOC!
To ignore that abuse makes small minded men, like Yoho, feel superior. She is exposing Yoho for what and who he really is.
“Using that language in front of the press he gave permission to use that language against his wife and his daughters”. People don’t understand that words have power and don’t be surprised if he more than likely verbally berate his spouse.
That's a pretty dumb take. This is the problem with kids today. Sticks and stones.
Ezbz your response shows your age. Why are people like you killing yourselves when someone hurts your feelings? Why are people like you killing yourselves when someone’s “mean” to you? Why are people like you gunning down innocent children because a few people weren’t so nice to you? Words hurt and there’s countless deaths, addictions and abuse that proves this fact. Thanks for the comment
Diedrie Gibbs That’s obviously the child of the commenter in the photo. Definitely not a kid.
@@superezbz sticks and stones may break my bones, but words leave a psychological wound that may never heal. Ppl like you r the reason why ppl like Brock turner aren't given proper justice. My condolences to the women who have to be around you.
@@diedriegibbs6938 People like me? I'm not the one that loses my mind when someone says words I don't like. It's you silly liberals that think everyone needs to think like you do. The right didnt start cancel culture. The right isn't trying to censor people.
Forewarn and forearm your kids. Make them strong. That's true empowerment.
It broke my heart when she said that she was grateful her father isn’t alive to hear his daughter get called out of her name, and that her mother had to witness it on television. She deserves respect.
It doesn't matter what political side she is on, her heart n words are real
“I am someone’s daughter too”....omg, tears right now 😢
She is amazing. I have so much respect for her!
Right!
I think the lady in the background started tearing up at that point too, I know I did as well.
Love her!!
I'm A wOmAN, yOU rESpECT mE.
This woman is spectacular. What a speech. Without doubt, a future President, a class act. You are the future, and restore my faith in humanity.
I am an Italian boy, for the future of America and the whole world I sincerely hope that one day AOC will become president of the United States of America.
Sorry for the translation errors
I totally agree!!!! What a intellingent and classy young woman!!!! Yes, I see great things in her future!!!!!! Watch out the good ole boys network, your time is coming to an end!!!!!! The youth are NOT having it!!!! I love this fiesty, beautiful, competent, passionate and capable young woman!!!!
I’m very worried for you guys
@@noahjones4127 you should be
Noah Jones I'm not. not all of us are radical liberals, once she gets further in her career she'll be much more seasoned. i think she'd br a great president one day in the future, let's see
You don’t have to agree with her politically, but she’s right about this
I'm Scottish and I love listening to this woman. She has my utter respect.
I'm English, live in Edinburgh, and I completely agree!
dear aoc you are a woman of high caliber. with such a big heart and deep family values. It is an honor for me to hear you speak. and show other people that intelligence and education go far and not with violence. proud of you Edgardo Donate
I'm Canadian and I completely agree with you.
German here and I agree. She's one of the very few people in politics who actually want to help and not take millions of lobby-money. And she's honest, hard working and she deserves every penny she gets. She buys braces with her money while the other politicians just buy another mahogany table.
AOC is the one American who gives me faith in the future. She makes me proud to be a human being.
Proof that anyone can make changes if they work hard. Her story is very impressive and inspirational!
Proud to be a human being? Haha..So there were moments when you were not proud to be a human being and wanted to become something else... for eg. Chicken..
@@kalyanbv1000 what would you be if you weren't human? Your response made me ponder what I'd be.
A few moments later and still thinking
Asked my boyfriend and we said tortoise at the same time. It was super weird. I said "why, because they live for a really long time?"
He said "well yeah but they're chill".
That was a good question! Lol
@@kalyanbv1000 No moron. It's that it's not a gender thing like so much for the woke people like you.
Dear women of the world don't cheat on your husband even if he chests on you remember you stay have to be judge in heaven. Adultery is bad and a wrong in heaven eyes. So don't cheat. You do have a choice of separation but no remarriage until your husband dies or you die. Love y'all and blessed be yall honest and thoughtful and kind and just and peaceful and patience and loving and wise women.
I didn't know Ted Yoho existed til today.
Samies. What a loser lol.
Winner-take-all state electoral college agreements could hand the election to Trump, again. If you agree on the idea of *one-person one-vote,* we need states to pass a law for ECs to elect the winner of the national popular vote. Look up *National Popular Vote Interstate Compact* and contact your state reps to pass it! Especially if you're in a swing state. We're almost there!
We must rectify that mistake.
me too
neither did I, now I know his infamous name
I teared up when she said "my father fortunately is not alive to see this" no human being should ever have the need to say that. I hope this world improves it's behaviour!
I love you AOC❤
same, how can you not.
She deserves a higher position, she could run next election
“Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man” -AOC
is that not powerful
@@justmejustme1245 why?
Then AOC is not a decent woman
Why do bible thumping guys hate AOC?
I’ve gotten to the point when I see this woman, I’m ready to hate her a bit more. Every time she opens her mouth I’m ready for her to manipulate the minds of so many people. I’m still not certain why there are some that like her. She has had no problem stating she’s racist against whites, she truly does not seem to like many men, unless she’s trying to get votes or pity from them. Her being a bartender should be a clue on how good she is at manipulation. Manipulation is key to great tips being a bartender, waitress, dancer, etc. Yet she was elected to “represent” NY~how did the people of NY think in any way that she would be good for them? Or...was it the people’s vote or money that got her in🤔
What's funny is that calling a female co-worker such disgusting things in any other workplace is serious grounds for termination...not so in our nation's Capitol I guess.
My GF brother called her a Bxtch in front of our kids and I broke his eye socket🤣🤣🤣 He NEVER NEVER disrespected her again.. These men ALWAYS target women not men
If I said those words, in the workplace, to a colleague, I would definitely face some kind of disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
Pass ERA! NOW!
Well most workplaces. Definitely not all.
Apparently after nearly 200 years people still don’t have respect for women. Shameful.
She doesn't need to be the President America needs her as the President.
I am a 76 yrold man in Texas. Voted this election 1st time since George w I wish I could have voted Cortez for prez
"I have daughters" is the equivalent of " I have black friends" to get out of misogynistic and racist behavior.
period exactly the same excuse those people use
@The Appointed Time i retweeted
Yep!
@The Appointed Time Not even close! This is not about using 4 letter words. This is about demeaning women. If you only knew how many men hate having women in Congress period you would understand
@The Appointed Time said the white colonist lol.
Yoho is hopelessly outclassed. Never heard of him before this, and I don't think I'll ever hear from him again.
loser
@@robertschriner6946 moron.
Best comment of the day!
@@robertschriner6946 How many feet pics of her do you have?
DO you know Mr. YOHO he is a family man with three daughters, I do not believe her. She is a grown women and is carrying it a bit far. She need to get out of dodge if she can not handle herself. What have you done? Is much worse Here we go again. What has she done for our country for her people?
Wow she carried herself so well and calmly. She stands her ground, and that is so respectable. When someone calls you those words, it really cuts through you. You not only feel rage, but you also feel belittled and lower self confidence. It's sad that these types of men don't learn properly and end up marrying and having children then influencing and teaching their children these behaviors. She carried herself with grace and gave grace to Yoho, instead of offending or attacking him back.
The maturity, the class, the intelligence that comes from this amazing woman is just phenomenal!
May his wife and daughters be ashamed of him.
They will see him as the insecure man being towered by a younger woman. The guy is pathetic
I'm pretty ashamed of AOC as a woman she's a disgrace to every person in America.
ladymissgd How?
@@ladymissgd Any reason for feeling that way you care to share?
@@ladymissgd because...
From a guy who lives in another country, I have to say that she has my respect, admiration and support in calling out a grub publicly.
Well done miss.

She also has mine, not least for her policy positions...

Do you believe in the Bible yes or no
"He gave permission for other men to use that language against his daughters" BOOM! Truth bomb!
She's dropping nothing but truth bombs!
But why does some man always had to have daughters to learn to as respectful to women just like they are to men? Men have always a mother! So why have so many men a problem with respecting women?
@@misssissivoss I wonder this myself all the time. Let me know when you find out.
@@misssissivoss The answer: Patriarchy!
@@misssissivoss Its a social problem, Men are often taught that to be considered a man you have to have woman be subservient to you. If you treat a woman kindly it is seen as a sign of weakness. Such thinking is backwards and should be guarded against.

I wish eveey country's officials are like AOC. Bless her soul.
He annoyed the wrong woman. instead of stooping to his level, she eloquently tore him a new one
All women must rise up and take our rightful places!
I wanna like but it's at 100 what do I do
Yeah read a speech someone smart wrote.
she pulled the woman card, so she definitely stooped lower.
@@jeffhanson6844 who wrote yours?
People love to apologize once their arsenal is exposed: then, they say: "I am sorry for attacking you". What they meant is that they are sorry because they were caught, not because they deeply regret. Liars.
I love when they say "thats not who I am." Uhhh yeah, right. Lol
Totally agree.
It’s men that are fragile and afraid of strong women. Yoho needs to be unemployed shortly.
GOOD ONE ROOSEVELT...AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!👍
As the wise troubadour Rihanna once said, "Don't say sorry cause you're not. Baby, when I only know you're sorry you got caught."
My god. What a woman! Every daughter, every wife, every woman stands taller with the truthful words of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
One of the best speeches I've seen, articulate, intelligent, logical, and yet also manage to be emotional in the most genuine way.
She is going to be President of these United States of America!
BabIndy89 I was just wondering how many years left until she is qualified by age to run!
I’ll vote for her today
And that will be a disaster.
CA Noslo I believe she would able to run in 2024, as she turns 35 that year
@@noahjones4127 And that would be such a blessing.
Yoho would have NEVER verbally accosted a male representative that way.
Because he is P$;&/
Because a dental appointment would have immediately followed
So much abuse from the right is ONLY directed at women. The man babies just hate women getting more and more power all the time.
@@winesap2 It is the same issue they have with people of color.
Cowards like Yoho always pick their targets. A lesser woman would have sent him back to Gainesville with a broken nose and read a wonderful public apology afterwards.
Hmm she’s seems a bit too smart and intelligent for America right now, I can see how she would get under the skin of conservatives.
Absolutely - she reminds me of Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's Prime Minister.
And both of them have been on Stephen Colbert's show more than once...
Let's see how socialism gets under YOUR skin!
@@patriciabashore9128 - It's under Norway, Finland and Denmark's skin, and they have the highest education, financial stability, and happiness index ratings. Socialism is not the misunderstood scary word of the 70s and 80s Red Scare Era. Democratic Socialism allows Capitalism to continue to exist, but it restores the checks and balances that Corporatism has destabilized. You only have to look at FDR's 4 term reign & his New Deal (that means his SOCIAL programs were so good, he was re-elected 4 times back to back!) to see that Socialist Agendas have given us the most prosperity we ever had in our history. Wanna make America great again? Bring back FDR Socialism!
the sad thing is that she had to pull out the 'i'm someones daughter too' card to help put it into perspective. I love her so much.
Insecure little men always act like that, no surprise they are afraid of her.
Paul X
@Phillip S Give me an example of when she insulted a man like Rep. Yoho did to her. I'm waiting

@Phillip S nice fallacies lol. you resort to a red herring fallacy, attacking insults themselves rather than addressing the real issues.
Her speech will go down in history and she will be remembered for generations. But, when asked, people will say, “Ted Yo-who???”
We are already asking "Ted who?" - most people hadn't heard about him before this infamous incident.
I really wonder what set him off, though. He must have been out of his mind to go at her like that in public.
Says the dude who never opened a history book in his life. Please, poser. Go back to school.
He should be reprimanded by the House and fined $100,000. The 100k should go to the charity of AOC's choice.

Appreciated AOC’s speech. Verbal abuse is never the answer. If this happened in an office, Yoho would be fired immediately.
If this happened at happy hour with coworkers he would be fired from a regular middle class job, no reason he shouldn't be fired in this case. It's a morality clause, which he clearly lacks.

@adrian collette Thanks for the correction. I decided to use "liberals" because not all Americans like to be called liberals, which is weird to me.

@@kevinchambers1609 Could not understand your comment because you switched pronouns in the middle of sentence. If you are referring to AOC repeating what Yoho yelled at her remember that she is in Congress and everything is written down and a permanent record is kept; just like as if you were in a courtroom. If you are giving testimony in a court of law, which is like Congress then you are required to give accurate and complete testimony. You don't make up other words to make them sounds less bad. She repeated his comments verbatim, as she is required to do.

@@khakhashisam3761 i want to see her in the White House... and I'm not American
Definetly presidential material.
She words things so well & keeps her composure, I would’ve started crying at “I am someone’s daughter too”
Yoho is a sad and pathetic child. And he's gone now.
She really slapped him with this speech
She is smart no doubt about it.
Great job,
And she took Chump along for the ride! 🤗♀️💪🏼
I've seen slaps before, this one was followed up by the backhand! WTG AOC!!
@@justacuppajoe no arguement on that
When you right you right
Truth hurts. Yoho hit a nerve didnt he
She is smart as all liers tend to be. Only fools follow people like her.
I saw his "apology," and it was no apology. Like she said, it was him making excuses and not showing remorse.
Why would he apologize for being 100% correct?
@@user-os7qq9xk4o it's that language that just drives the wedge deeper, if you can't see that you're part of the problem
@@user-os7qq9xk4o Your wife or girlfriend (if you have one) must be so damaged.
Tom Riddle Your human trash
His satanic az tried to bring God in his unholy comments, what a dck
I lowkey get chills every time she speaks. Her power and influence is gold.
Thank you so much. I reached out to Yoho directly because of this. Keep it up. Highest regards!
How does she say all this without breaking into tears??? If I was her I'd be shaking and crying lmaooo
Because she’s strong and has been dealing with it for most of her life.
I need to learn to talk like her, but I too get emotional little bit when I am explaining my ordeal of such instances to someone.
I think she knows that the animals she’s speaking against would take it as a sign of weakness. Tears shouldn’t represent weakness, but to these sexist bigots it does. She’s smart. She’s analytical. She’s fit to become president when she’s old enough.
lol me too
It's a skill she likely developed, and one you can, too!! Bc she is a public figure she has learned how to carry herself when talking about really emotional and intense things in front of people since that's such a large part of her job
Yoho’s apology was uttered out of regret, but not remorse.
It wasn’t an apology at all.
‘Apology,’ it was not. An apology is an acknowledgment that something we’ve said or done has caused harm and not only are we willing to take the necessary actions to correct the incident, but that we recognize how we were the instrument of harm and WE WON’T DO IT AGAIN. That is a real apology.
Was not an aoplogy.
Regret for being called out and having this negative attention upon him
He was only sorry he got caught on camera....
The lady behind her. Started tearing up. Thank you AOC.
Bravo, so well stated. I am impressed.👏I’m 60 and have seen many times what she so poignantly describes as men using their, wife’s, daughters, sister’s etc as shields for their behaviour. I think she has just successfully removed that excuse off the list for ever. 💕
AOC has more class and dignity than this man will ever dream of.
TRUE!!!!!!!!
If he even knew what that meant...
Lol.
When she said "you can have daughters / a wife and still accost women" i basically started playing the bongos on my counter. THE TRUTH. It hits.
I completely agree Also lmao, "bongos on my counter." Thank you for making me laugh :)
It's funny how thus is such are hard concept for the ignorant to accept. It's just another version of "I can't be racist if I have black friends"
Poor women being spoken to in a rough tone.
"My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr Yoho spoke to his daughter." That was hard for me to hear and probably much harder for her to say. You could see her shaken visibly.
Yoho should be suspended or removed from congress. People like him, doesn't belong in our government. Its 2021, and you'd think we were past this.
When men throw "I have a wife" or "I have a daughter" into this respect women argument, what they are really saying is "MY women are under my protection and therefore should be treated respectfully." Other women are fair game.
It's disgusting when you see men use this sort of attempt at a "defense" of their actions. When I see someone trying to use the fact that they have female family as a shield, I immediately file it in the same place as I file "I have a black friend" when people start saying racist nonsense.
JackgarPrime totally agree. I was about to type the same thing.
Same when people are outright bigots but then claim they have "black friends" as a defense.
If he was my husband of father i would be appalled and ashamed to be associated with him. To be used as a prop in defence of his bad actions.
Yup
“I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho’s youngest daughter.”
In other words, he’s old enough to know better, and it’s time he acted like a grown man.
Not "grown man", "decent human"
This is why abortions should be legal. Who needs more Yohos in this world?
Nope, he's rich, so he can do what he wants1 /s
Bob McGillicutty says the republican doing the same thing 😂
@Bob McGillicutty More excuses.
I teared up when she said that she is someone's daughter
She is spectacular! I hope I live as long to see her being POTUS
I felt her voice break when she said her father thankfully is not alive to see how a man treated his daughter.
Yes he would have been proud of her working the streets and bars
@@rlb4592 what?
rlb4592 he was she knew she was a hard worker regardless of the work she did prior. She studied political science and was a bartender right after college. Why are you trying to shame her, Latino parents don’t care what you do as a long as you do an honest day of work.
Diane Diego exactly working at a bar is not something to look down upon
@Glen Wilson She does not need anybody's sympathy. She can really stand up to any little corrupted republican(the "r" was not a mistake!)
This is how a woman who knows her worth speaks. Love her or hate her, she speaks plainly and eloquently.
eloquently? More like the new female HITLER!
@@ladymissgd lmao tf you on about
@@doratheexplorer5953 She hates America and so do you. Move out then if you hate it so much.
@@doratheexplorer5953 lmao ladymissgd is getting dat Rump torn by Trump! She needs Jesus!
Please. You probably take out your teeth before your husband gets home so you can service him well! You couldn’t lick the grime off AOC’s shoes! She is grace and eloquent. You just sound bitter and jealous. She is a true patriot standing up for all marginalized people. You should move to another country With your antiquated outdated views mentality. Move over there’s a change coming !! 💙 🌊
She is outstanding, what a great role model.
The sad thing is she's right, women have to go through this in one form of another, and men don't even feel that what do they is wrong
He should be fired and never have a job working with people.
