AOC Claps Back at Fox Producer Questioning Her Refusal to Appear on Jesse Watters' Show: 'He Has Sexualized Me'

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confronted a Fox News producer on the street, accusing host Jesse Watters of sexualizing and harassing her. The exchange, which has gained significant attention online, occurred outside the Capitol building.

In a video shared on her X account, AOC, 36, responded to the producer's invitation to appear on Watters' show with a firm statement: "He has sexualized and harassed me on his show." The producer challenged her assertion, but AOC pressed on, citing specific comments made by Watters.

"He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller," she stated, questioning the appropriateness of such remarks directed at a woman. Her post accompanying the video read, "You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!"

The incident referenced by AOC took place during an episode of The Five on October 7, 2025. During that broadcast, Watters made a controversial remark suggesting AOC had romantic feelings for Miller, a senior White House advisor. "I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller. It's so obvious," he said, dismissing her criticisms of him.

Watters continued to praise Miller, describing him as a "high-value man" due to his influence and mission to protect Western civilization. He contrasted Miller with Democratic politicians, claiming they had failed during critical moments in recent history.

His comments included a series of assertions about masculinity and bravery, culminating in a somewhat self-aware joke about giving Miller dating advice. This isn't the first time Watters has faced backlash for his remarks; he previously made headlines for suggesting extreme actions against the U.N. following a technical malfunction during a presidential address.

During that segment, he suggested bombing the U.N. headquarters, which drew laughter from his colleagues but was met with serious condemnation from officials. U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric later criticized Watters' language as unacceptable, emphasizing the gravity of such statements.

Despite the controversy surrounding his comments, Watters did not publicly apologize during the broadcast but reportedly issued a private apology afterward. The ongoing dialogue around these incidents highlights the contentious nature of political discourse in media today.

As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how both AOC and Watters will navigate the fallout from this exchange and its implications for their respective platforms.
