"Ocasio-Cortez and Christie Clash Over Remarks About Jill Biden"

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie for making "disgusting, misogynistic" remarks about first lady Jill Biden during the second GOP debate. Christie had accused President Biden of being influenced by his wife's position in the teachers union. Ocasio-Cortez called out the comments as disrespectful to women and warned that Republicans risk alienating female voters. Christie defended his remarks, calling Ocasio-Cortez a hypocrite, while former Vice President Mike Pence made a lighthearted reference to the controversy during the debate.
