A video has gone viral showing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., being harassed outside the U.S. Capitol by social media personality Alex Stein, who calls her “my favorite big booty Latina.”
AOC initially tried to blow off the remarks until Stein called the NY Congresswoman a “big booty Latina.”
In a video, which appears to have been shot by Stein and uploaded to social media, he is seen shouting out to Ocasio-Cortez as she walks by.
“I love you, AOC,” he said. “She wants to kill babies, but she’s still beautiful. You look very beautiful in that dress. You look very sexy. Look at that booty on AOC. That’s my favorite big booty Latina.”
AOC responded to the incident in a tweet that she 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 can be seen stopping for a moment and making a peace sign at the camera before walking on.
Stein continued his crude remarks about Ocasio-Cortez calling her “hot, hot, hot – like a tamale.”
Stein had tried to engage several other lawmakers outside the Capitol on Wednesday, including Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Ill., who he called a “traitor.”
