I imagine this is just the first of the organizations and people who will shun this asshole now.

A Christian nonprofit organization that fights world hunger asked Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) to resign from its board after he confronted a female colleague and then reportedly used a sexist expletive after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was out of earshot.
Bread for the World announced Yoho’s resignation in a statement on Saturday, saying that his “recent actions and words as reported in the media are not reflective of the ethical standards expected of members of our Board of Directors.”
The organization asked Yoho for his resignation on Friday. In its statement, the group said the decision was taken to reaffirm “our commitment to coming alongside women and people of color, nationally and globally, as they continue to lead us to a more racially inclusive and equitable world.”
Bread for the World in a statement on Wednesday said it was “deeply concerned” with what “we and others perceive to be his non-apology.”
“Bread for the World is concerned that his behavior in the past few days does not reflect the values of respect and compassion that Jesus calls on us to exhibit every day and we expect from our board members,” the nonprofit said.
For those who may have forgotten Yoho called Ocasio-Cortez a “fucking bitch!” where reporters could hear him.
And then, of course, denied saying it.
Man, when will these idiots realize that it is just a really bad idea to take on AOC?
Anything said outside of chambers is hearsay.
Wasn’t that his excuse? Comes so rapid these days, you forget whom said what.
“He called her “disgusting” for suggesting that unemployment and poverty were behind the recent uptick in crime in New York City, according to The Hill reporter Mike Lillis, who witnessed the confrontation.”
And since Bread for the World’s mission deals with poverty, I’d say Yoho exposed his callous attitude as being in opposition to their mission. Aside from him behaving about as UNchristian as you can get. Not surprised them basically demanded he resign.
Yoho isn’t running for re-election so he probably doesn’t give a damn about censure or anything else.
Finally these so called men are being held accountable for their crass actions.
