A video filmed Wednesday night outside the Capitol Building, by Meidas Touch Network correspondent and Migrant Insider editor Pablo Manríquez, caught New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) holding Fox News personality Jesse Watters accountable for his past words and actions.
The video quickly went viral.
In the clip, Jesse Watters Primetime producer Johnny Belisario approached Representative Ocasio-Cortez as she was walking on the Capitol campus.
Belisario said Watters would like to have Representative AOC on his show.
He then asked:
"Would you join him?"
AOC responded:
"He has sexualized and harassed me on his show. He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric."
Belisario falsely claimed:
"That’s not true, Congresswoman."
Representative Ocasio-Cortez shot back:
"It is true. It is true, because he accused me of sleeping–of wanting to quote, unquote, sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman? Thank you."
Before Belisario could further deny the truth about his problematic boss, Representative AOC walked away.
You can see the moment here:
Representative Ocasio-Cortez later shared the clip with the caption:
"You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both."
"Good luck!"
In an October episode of The Five, Watters praised Miller using the incel, alpha male, White nationalist rhetoric he espouses.
When asked if MAGA Republican men are intimidated by Representative Ocasio-Cortez, Watters stated:
"No, I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller. It is so obvious. And, I’m sorry, you can’t have him."
Watters continued:
"This is what AOC doesn’t get about men."
"Miller is a high value man, because he has power and influence. Because he has vision, and he’s on a mission to save this republic and protect western civilization. He speaks with confidence and flair, and he’s unafraid of anything."
"Now, AOC may have someone that’s taller, like [California Democratic Governor] Gavin [Newsom]. Or maybe someone who has more distinguished characteristics like Adam Schiff, the Senator who talks like this, or someone with more wealth, like Soros the younger."
"But those men are not brave men. Those men did not protect the country when the country needed it. We had tests throughout the last couple of years. Tests on crime. Tests during Covid and tests with immigration."
"And all of the men that AOC seems to value. They all failed the test and they failed it miserably. Men who are high value men like Stephen Miller take risks. They’re brave, they’re unafraid, they’re confident, and they’re on a mission. And they have younger wives with beautiful children."
"I think I just gave him, like, a dating recommendation."
When Watters was done, his The Five co-panelist Greg Gutfeld responded:
"I don’t know, man, that was pretty creepy."
Watters' reduction of a female member of Congress to a sexual conquest for various men or his characterization of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's tenure in the House of Representatives as a search for a "high value man" is exactly what she accused him of. Perhaps Belisario could review his boss's program transcripts so he's aware of the things Watters says.
People familiar with Watters misogyny concurred with Representative AOC's assessment.

Watters has frequently drawn fire for his fawning worship of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, the men of MAGA, his bizarre rules for "real men," his White nationalist rhetoric, and his misogyny, sexism, and sexualization of women.
During an October appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime by Trump's primary propagandist, Stephen Miller, Watters ended the interview praising the Deputy White House Chief of Staff's sexual prowess.
Watters stated:
"Before we let you go, we just have to address the elephant in the room. We’re getting a lot of texts from women about Miller and his appearances and his appearance."
"Our audience at 'Primetime' believes you’re some sort of sexual matador. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Miller replied:
"I’m married now, I have children, but I wasn’t married that long ago. I was single and I was on the market."
"If you’re a young man—it’s very important in an election season—who’s looking to impress ladies, to be the alpha, to be attractive, the best thing you can do is to wear your Trump support on your sleeve."
"Show that you are a real man. Show that you are not a beta, right? Be a proud and loud Trump supporter and your dating life will be fantastic."
The moment was mocked as both extremely creepy and deeply delusional.
In another character defining moment, Watters bragged on air about tampering with a younger female subordinate's car so she'd be forced to accept a ride home from him, giving him an opportunity to hit on her.
Intended to be a romantic story about courting his current wife, people quickly noted Watters' predatory nature and the fact he was already married when he was sabotaging another woman's car to force her into his vehicle.
