AOC to Yoho: 'I am someone's daughter too' ★

(CNN)ニューヨーク州選出のアレクサンドリア・オカシオ・コルテス議員は木曜日、下院議場でフロリダ州選出のテッド・ヨーホー議員との今週初めの激しいやりとりについて語り、ヨーホー議員は彼女を「f**king bitch」と呼び、彼女に声をかけることで「他の男性が自分の娘にそうすることを許可している」と述べました。

オカシオ・コルテス氏は、この事件を再現してこの言葉を繰り返し、「女性、私たちの妻や娘を盾にしたり、下手な行動の言い訳に使ったりすること」に問題があると述べました。

このフロリダ州の共和党員は、謝罪の仕方についてのマスタークラスを提供しました。

"ヨーホー氏は妻と2人の娘がいると言っていました。私はYoho氏の一番下の娘より2歳年下です。私も誰かの娘です。私の父は、幸いにも生きていないので、余湖さんが自分の娘にどんな仕打ちをしたかを見ることはできません」と、声に力を込めて語った。「私がここにいるのは、私が両親の娘であり、男性からの虐待を受け入れるように私を育てたのではないということを、両親に示さなければならないからです」と述べました。

さらに、「どんな女性に対しても、ヨーホー氏がしたことは、他の男性が自分の娘にそのようなことをすることを許可したことになります。記者の前であの言葉を使うことで、彼は妻や娘、コミュニティの女性に対してあの言葉を使うことを許可したのです。

最初の発言を耳にしたThe Hillの記者によると、ヨーホー氏は月曜日に下院の階段の外でオカシオ・コルテス氏に近づき、ニューヨーク市の失業率や犯罪に関する彼女の立場について会話を弾ませたという。The Hillによると、ヨーホー氏は彼女のことを「嫌悪感を覚える」と言い、彼女が気が狂っていると伝えたとのことです。Ocasio-Cortez氏は失礼なことをしたと言い、Yoho氏は「f**king bitch」と言って立ち去ったという。

水曜日、ヨーホー氏は議場で、オカシオ・コルテス氏との「突然の会話」を謝罪しましたが、彼女を表現するために下品な言葉を使ったことは否定し、結婚して父親になったことで、言葉遣いには「非常に気をつけている」と述べました。また、共和党員は、「アメリカの政策やビジョンについて意見が合わないのは事実だが、だからといって無礼な態度をとるべきではない」と述べました。

(CNN) — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke on the House floor Thursday about a heated exchange earlier this week with Florida Rep. Ted Yoho after which he reportedly called her a "f**king bitch," saying that by accosting her, he gave "permission to other men to do that to his daughters."

Ocasio-Cortez recounted the incident and repeated the term, saying she has an issue with "using women, our wives and daughters as shields and excuses for poor behavior."

"Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter," she said with emotion in her voice. "My mother got to see Mr. Yoho's disrespect on the floor of this House towards me on television and I am here because I have to show my parents that I am their daughter and that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men."

She later added, "When you do that to any woman, what Mr. Yoho did was give permission to other men to do that to his daughters. In using that language, in front of the press, he gave permission to use that language against his wife, his daughters, women in his community, and I am here to stand up to say that is not acceptable."

According to a reporter from The Hill, who overheard the initial remarks, Yoho came up to Ocasio-Cortez outside the House steps on Monday and sparked a conversation about her position on unemployment and crime in New York City. Yoho said she was "disgusting" and told her she is out of her mind, according to The Hill. Ocasio-Cortez said he was being rude, and Yoho said "f**king bitch" as he walked away.

On Wednesday, Yoho apologized on the House floor to Ocasio-Cortez for the "abrupt manner of the conversation" he had with her, but he denied using the vulgar term to describe her and said that he was "very cognizant"of his language because he was married and a father. The Republican also said it "is true that we disagree on policies and visions for America, but that does not mean we should be disrespectful."

He said he never used the "offensive name calling, words attributed to me by the press." He added that he is "passionate" about those affected by poverty and believes those in poverty can rise beyond their troubles "without being encouraged to break the law," the subject of their conversation.

"I will commit to each of you that I will conduct myself from a place of passion and understanding that policy and political disagreement be vigorously debated with the knowledge that we approach the problems facing our nation with the betterment of the country in mind and the people we serve. I cannot apologize for my passion or for loving my God, my family and my country," Yoho said.

His office also denied he made the comment in a statement to CNN, saying that he "made a brief comment to himself as he walked away summarizing what he believes her policies to be: bullshit."

Ocasio-Cortez also said Yoho, in his apology on the House floor, made "excuses for his behavior" and "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," she said.

She said Yoho's comments "were not deeply hurtful or piercing" because she has experienced the same type of behavior from men while working as a waitress and everyday life.

"I have waited tables in restaurants. I have ridden the subway. I have walked the streets in New York City. And this kind of language is not new," she said. "I have tossed men out of bars that have used language like Mr. Yoho's, and I have encountered this type of harassment riding the subway in New York City. This is not new."

Yoho said Thursday that he refused to "apologize for something I didn't say" and "No one was accosted, bullied or attacked."

"This was a brief policy discussion, plain and simple, and we have our differences," he said. "We are both passionate members of Congress and equals. She has every right to give her account of the conversation but she doesn't have the right to inflate, talk about my family or give an account that did not happen for political gain."

This story has been updated with additional developments Thursday.
