AOC Says She Was Tempted To 'Deck' Rightwing Troll Who Called Her A 'Big Booty Latina' On Capitol Steps

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted about an encounter with right-wing Twitter troll Alex Stein, who accosted her on the steps of the United States Capitol.

Ocasio-Cortez called the incident "deeply disgusting" and lamented the experience of working "in an institution that openly allowed this, but talking about it only invites more."


She chose to repost a video of the incident and admitted she was ready to "deck him because if no one will protect us then I'll do it myself."

You can watch the video below.

In the video, Stein refers to Ocasio-Cortez as "AOC, my favorite big booty Latina," adding:

"I love you AOC, you’re my favorite. She wants to kill babies, but she’s still beautiful. You look very beautiful in that dress."
“You look very sexy. Look at that booty on AOC. Hot, hot, hot like a tamale!”

Stein continued to troll Ocasio-Cortez after she posted the video online, telling her if "you really love me you would of [sic] at least tagged me."

After she chose to block him to stop him from seeing and responding to her posts, he responded with mock devastation.

Many threw support behind Ocasio-Cortez after the video went viral and condemned Stein's obvious racial and sexual harassment.



Ocasio-Cortez has previously spoken about the sexism she has faced as a member of Congress.

She made national headlines in July 2020 after she took to the House floor to enter into the Congressional record a sexist vulgarity said to her by Florida Republican Representative Ted Yoho, who later denied saying the slur after she observed incidents like the one she described "happen every day," even "on the steps of our nation's Capitol."

Last year, she criticized West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin after he failed to use her official title and referred to her as a "young lady" in an interview, openly questioning why "this kind of weird, patronizing behavior is so accepted."

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
