Is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez telling the truth about that nasty encounter with Rep. Ted Yoho?

Monica Showalter  "Is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez telling the truth about that unpleasant encounter with Rep. Ted Yoho? 

"The conservative congressman from Gainesville, Florida, according to Ocasio-Cortez, accosted her on the Capitol steps when she was just "minding her own business" as she described it, and then wound up an unhappy discussion about whether the vast looting orgy going on in New York and beyond was just a matter of shoplifters looking for bread as Ocasio-Cortez said. Ocasio-Cortez then claimed that Yoho ended his discussion about her policy with 'F***ing b***h!'

. . .   "But Yolo says never happened. He claimed he was saying 'frickin' bee ess!' to her policy which is strong but not personal. He also made an apology of sorts, while still denying the name-calling.

. . .  "Now he's saying it really didn't happen at all. Here's his Fox News interview with Martha McCallum:

“Everything was directed at policy,” Yoho said. “When she told me that, yes, she thought it was right for people to go ahead and shoplift if you’re hungry, I said ‘Seriously, with as many social programs and faith-based programs and all these other and food kitchens around, the best that you can do is to offer people in your district to go ahead and shoplift while you’re calling at the same time to defund the police?’”

“I said those are just absolutely the most frickin’ crazy policy ideas I’ve ever h[eard],” Yoho continued. “And I says, ‘Your policy ideas are disgusting,’ and I turned around and walked away. And that was really about as long as that interaction lasted.”

When asked if he called her a “f***ing b***h,” Yoho said that he did not, saying, “I walked down the steps, I said, ‘This is just such frickin’ BS.’”
