Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was on the verge of hitting a man who called her his “favorite big booty Latina” outside the Capitol on Wednesday.
The harasser, right-wing provocateur Alex Stein, recorded himself as he catcalled the congresswoman and posted the video on his Twitter account. Ocasio-Cortez later shared Stein’s video, calling it a “deeply disgusting incident.”

“I was actually walking over to deck him because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it myself but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted after the incident.
“It’s just a bummer to work in an institution that openly allowed this, but talking about it only invites more. Just really sad,” she added.

In the video, Stein directed several crude remarks at Ocasio-Cortez.
When Stein shouted, “Look at that booty on AOC,” the congresswoman reacted by walking toward him before an aide stepped in between the two. Ocasio-Cortez then held two fingers up in the form of a peace sign before walking back up the Capitol steps as Stein shouted, “Whooo. I love it AOC. Hot, hot, hot like a tamale.”
Stein reportedly attempted to engage several lawmakers outside the Capitol on Wednesday.

In another video posted by the provocateur on Twitter, he asked Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) if he thinks Hunter Biden “has good taste in prostitutes.” In the video, a puzzled-looking Bowman threw his hands up in the air after the question and walked off shaking his head.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Stein for comment.
