“She ain’t worth it, bro,” Ocasio-Cortez said, tapping Bowman on the shoulder. “She ain’t worth it, bro.”
The moment was captured from different angles by reporters for CNN and The Daily Beast:
Bowman and Ocasio-Cortez had just finished heckling Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) who was speaking to reporters on the Capitol steps shortly after he survived a motion to expel him.
Santos last week was arraigned on 13 federal counts including multiple counts of fraud and money laundering.
Santos ― already the subject of bipartisan calls to resign due to his extensive history of lying ― faced renewed calls to step down after the arraignment as well as the motion to expel.
“Kick him out!” Bowman yelled from the steps, telling him to “have some dignity” and “resign.”
“You gotta go,” Ocasio-Cortez added.
Santos called Bowman “deranged.”
