Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on Friday rejected Florida GOP Rep. Ted Yoho's claim that "no one was accosted, bullied or attacked" during their tense exchange this week on the steps of the Capitol, saying that Yoho and a Texas Republican lawmaker were both lying as she revealed new details about the viral incident.

"If he wants to continue to lie, that's his business," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN Friday.
In the interview, Ocasio-Cortez added more detail about Yoho's broadside before he reportedly called her a "f*cking b*tch" within an earshot of a reporter from The Hill newspaper. Ocasio-Cortez was walking up the east front steps of the Capitol to cast a vote Monday afternoon when both Yoho and Texas GOP Rep. Roger Williams approached her as they were walking down the steps.
