Earlier this week, a right-wing troll who calls himself a “comedian” sexually harassed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
As Business Insider reported:
“I posted about a deeply disgusting incident that happened today on the Capitol steps, but took it down bc it’s clearly someone seeking extremist fame,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
“It’s just a bummer to work in an institution that openly allowed this, but talking about it only invites more. Just really sad,” she added.
She then included footage of the incident in a follow-up tweet. “I was actually walking over to deck him because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it myself but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
The so-called comedian is named Alex Stein, and in the video below, you can see him referring to Ocasio-Cortez as his “favorite big booty Latina” and accusing the congresswoman of “killing babies.”
But according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — a.k.a. the Peach State Insurrectionist Scum — Ocasio-Cortez should consider such harassment a compliment.
HuffPost notes that Greene seemed to delight in the video of AOC being treated in such a manner:
If Ocasio-Cortez had pulled a handgun out of her purse and shot Stein in both legs to teach him a lesson, would Greene be saluting her then? After all, aren’t right-wingers always teaching that guns are the solution to every problem and the Second Amendment is the only one that matters?
