AOC Accuses Jesse Watters of Sexually Harassing Her on His Show: ‘Horrific … Exploitative Rhetoric’ | Video
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez probably won’t be on “Jesse Watters Primetime” anytime soon, after accusing the Fox News host of sexually harassing her and sexualizing her on his show.
The New York congresswoman was approached on the street in Washington, D.C., by a man with a camera crew and microphone who said to her, “Jesse Watters would like you on his show.”
“That’s nice,” she curtly replied.
“Would you join him?,” asked the man, who was not identified in X posts by name. TheWrap has learned that he is, indeed, a producer for “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
“Um, he’s accused me of, um … he has sexualized me on his show, he has sexually harassed me on his show, he has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative, uh, rhetoric, ” Ocasio-Cortez snapped back.
‘That’s not true congresswoman,” the man replied, shaking his head.
“It is true, it is true, because he has accused me of quote-unquote wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller – so why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman. Thank you,” she replied, before walking away.
Watters did, in fact, make the offhand comment, in October, after the congresswoman mocked Miller’s stature.
AOC later reposted a video of the encounter on her own X account, writing, “You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!”

Representatives for Fox News did not comment on the video Wednesday evening.
