Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accuses Fox Host of sexualizing her in explosive confrontation with producer


WASHINGTON — He’s in hot watters.

“Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exploded at a “Jesse Watters Primetime” producer who goaded her to go on the show, accusing the host of being a “pervert.”

The lefty congresswoman harked back to Fox News host Jesse Watters’ suggestion last year that she wanted to “sleep” with White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller.

“He has sexualized and harassed me on his show,” she raged to producer Johnny Belisario. “He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric.”

Belisario shot back: “That’s not true, Congresswoman.”

But Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was adamant that Watters had sexualized her on the airwaves.

“It is true,” Ocasio-Cortez countered, “because he accused me sleeping– of wanting to quote, unquote, sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman? Thank you.”

The fiery confrontation was captured in a clip by Pablo Manríquez of Migrant Insider and shared by MeidasTouch’s Acyn Torabi.

The Bronx and Queens rep was referencing a retort by Watters last October in which he suggested on Fox News’ “The Five” that she wanted to sleep with Miller.

At the time, Ocasio-Cortez had publicly body-shamed Miller, mocking him for being short, before later course-correcting, and expressing her “love for the short king community.”

“I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller,” Watters chided on “The Five” last October. “I’m sorry you can’t have him. Miller is the best. I know him well socially. The man is not overcompensating.”

“He is a policy savant. I mean, this guy is confident. He battles CNN with grace and with class and provides wise counsel to the President of the United States.”

Watters also claimed that Miller is a “sexual matador.”

After raging at Belisario, Ocasio-Cortez stormed off.

“You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!” she later sniped on X.

The Post contacted Fox News for comment.

Last year, Ocasio-Cortez, who has long been miffed by Miller’s hardcore stance on immigration, publicly bashed him as a “clown” and wrongly suggested he is 4’10”.

Amid backlash, she then insisted “I don’t believe in body-shaming.”

“I want to express my love for the short king community,” she added, before clarifying that, “I am talking about how big or small someone is on the inside.”
