Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into a Fox News producer for suggesting she appear on host Jesse Watters’ show.
“Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show,” the producer told her, asking if she’d consider making an appearance.

“He has sexualized me on his show, he has sexually harassed me on his show,” she replied. “He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric.”
The producer responded, “That’s not true.”
“It is true,” Ocasio-Cortez snapped back. “Because he accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman?”

Ocasio-Cortez was referring to a 2025 segment of Fox’s The Five during which Watters responded to her mocking Miller’s height by claiming she secretly wants to sleep with him.
“I’m sorry, you can’t have him,” Watter said. He then went on a long diatribe about how awesome he thinks Miller is, calling him “a high value” man who is “brave” and “on a mission.”
“The man is not overcompensating,” Watters said.
Ocasio-Cortez posted the video of her exchange with the Fox producer on social media and wrote, “You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!”
