Family
On the House Floor, Ted Yoho said, “Having been married for 45 years with two daughters, I’m very cognizant of my language. The offensive name-calling, words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleagues and if they were construed that way, I apologize for their misunderstanding.” In her response, Ocasio-Cortez said in part, “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.”
Yoho has posted multiple times on Facebook about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Most recently, Yoho posted a video defended her husband by conservative activist Terrence K. Williams. On January 30, Yoho posted a video from another conservative activist, Gavin Rollins, who was sending an “anti-socialist” gift package to Senator Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez. Yoho added, “Great idea – hope it works.”
In September 2019, Yoho reposted an essay by conservative commentator Alyssa Ahlgren. The essay is titled, “AOC AND THE BLIND GENERATION.” The article is accompanied by a photo of Ocasio-Cortez. In the message, Ahlgren calls a quote that Ocasio-Cortez gave to Newsweek in March 2019, “An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity,” “factually illiterate.” Yoho called the essay, “An insightful millennial perspective.”
