In a brief but heated exchange, which was overheard by a reporter, Yoho told Ocasio-Cortez she was "disgusting" for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic."

At issue were comments Ocasio-Cortez made earlier in the month during a virtual town hall with the mothers of two Black men, Eric Garner and Ramarley Graham, who were killed in recent years by New York police officers.

Ocasio-Cortez went on to propose that "economic desperation" caused by the coronavirus pandemic – combined with glitches in the delivery of federal stimulus checks and unemployment payments – has helped trigger the crime spike."
