Lawmaker torches Fox News invite after confronting producer over sexist on-air remarks

Rep.

When the producer denied her claims, Ocasio-Cortez fired back with specifics, referencing a prior on-air remark in which Watters crudely speculated about her sexual interest in a Trump adviser — a comment so inflammatory it drew discomfort even from his own co-hosts. The exchange underscored Fox News’ long-running issues with misogyny and harassment, as well as Ocasio-Cortez’s refusal to legitimize a platform she says has repeatedly demeaned her.
