CHC Chair Statement Condemning Attack on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Washington, D.C. – "The language used to attack Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spewed from a place of racism, hate, and disrespect for her and Latinas everywhere," said Chair Dr. Ruiz. "The Congressional Hispanic Caucus condemn those who promote violence against women and the actions of the individual who blatantly and publicly sexually harassed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez."
