Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Fox News host Jesse Watters of sexual harassment during a heated confrontation with a producer from “Jesse Watters Primetime,” according to video circulated online this week, as reported by The New York Post.
The exchange occurred in Washington, where Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, confronted Johnny Belisario, a producer for Watters’ show.
During the encounter, Ocasio-Cortez accused Watters of being a “pervert” and claimed he had repeatedly sexualized her on air.
“He has sexualized and harassed me on his show,” Ocasio-Cortez said to Belisario. “He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric.”

Belisario disputed the claim, responding, “That’s not true, Congresswoman.” Ocasio-Cortez rejected that response and cited a specific on-air remark made by Watters in 2024.
“It is true,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Because he accused me 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.”
The congresswoman was referring to comments Watters made last October while appearing on The Five, in which he discussed Ocasio-Cortez and Stephen Miller.

At the time, Ocasio-Cortez had criticized Miller and mocked his height before later revising her remarks.
“I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller,” Watters said during the October broadcast. “I’m sorry you can’t have him. Miller is the best. I know him well socially. The man is not overcompensating.”
Watters continued by praising Miller, calling him “a policy savant” and saying he “battles CNN with grace and with class and provides wise counsel to the President of the United States.” He also claimed Miller was a “sexual matador.”
The confrontation between Ocasio-Cortez and the Fox News producer was captured on video by Pablo Manríquez of Migrant Insider and later shared online by MeidasTouch contributor Acyn Torabi.
After the exchange, Ocasio-Cortez walked away from the producer.
Following the incident, Ocasio-Cortez posted a message on X, writing, “You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!”
Fox News was contacted for comment regarding the confrontation and Ocasio-Cortez’s accusations.
The dispute follows a broader history of criticism by Ocasio-Cortez toward Miller, particularly over his immigration policies. Last year, she referred to him as a “clown” and incorrectly suggested he was 4’10”.
After facing backlash, she later said, “I don’t believe in body-shaming.”
“I want to express my love for the short king community,” Ocasio-Cortez added at the time, before clarifying that “I am talking about how big or small someone is on the inside.”

She’s a “see u next Tuesday”. Can stand her.
That’s “C U Next Tuesday.” Otherwise, no one gets it.
Sexualized AOC? He’s a TV show producer not Houdini.
Ya know, everyone always give sandy cortez too much credit. She was not a bartender as people claim. She was simply a waitress. She went to the bar with orders, returned with drinks. Mixing drinks is way beyond her mental capacity.
But for someone growing up privileged, getting an economics degree (really? Doesn’t say much for the schools requirements.), then waiting tables, and then multi-millions after a few years as a dim pol, nice gig I guess. Still dump as a post.
Uhm, and I quote, “Quite trying to date me…” She thinks everyone wants to. She has a “sexualize me” chip on her shoulder. Hint, NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE SEX with this slimy skank.
thank you
With Democrats it is u always sexual harassment , or racist
AOC does readily gravitate to any subject that revolves around her being sexualized in some fashion for sure . . . Of late she has to jet on out of anywhere that the subject of her Economics degree might pop up . . .
She’s had nice TIPS ever since she was a barmaid.
NOBODY that is ANYBODY gives a SH!T WHAT YOU THINK, Go back to bartending!!!!!! leftard IMBECILE!!!!!!!!! What have you done for the people that VOTED for YOUR USELESS AZZ!!!!!!!!!
I just wish the barmaid would
shut up and get me a beer.
Hard to imagine her & “sex” linked in the same sentence. There, I’ve just paid her a compliment.
