I especially liked the part about Yoho giving permission to other men to treat his wife and daughters that way.

I hope he had to sleep in the doghouse after she said that.

You can see the real reason Yoho went after AOC is because he fears her.
He fears her because she is a smart, strong, beautiful young woman of color,
and on his best day she is ten times the speaker he could ever be.

That was a speech for the ages.

BTW who is the congressperson behind AOC? Because she tearing up because
of AOC's eloquence.

In the lingo of the Jerry Springer Show, the insult, "Yoho" means, "You're a whore". Upon hearing that insult, a brawl would usually break out between the two female guests. Time to clean house and vote Yoho out of office.
