LGBT rights
Yoho has a "0" rating from the Human Rights Campaign,
indicating an anti-LGBT voting history.
Lynching
On February 26, 2020, Yoho voted against making lynching a federal hate crime. He stated that he believed it was
an "overreach of the federal government and tramples on states' rights to make their own
legislation on the subject"
Controversies
In 2013, he became widely known for his position on breaching
the debt ceiling and
defaulting on the national debt,
which he claimed "would bring stability to the world markets."[22] This position was widely panned by Democrats and some
Republicans such as fellow Republican Reid Ribble, who called the position
"crazy talk."[23]
In July 2020, Yoho got into a heated exchange with
Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez over her public comments that an increase of
crime in New York City was due to the high rise in poverty. According to a
reporter from The Hill who
overheard the conversation, the congressman called her "disgusting"
and "out of your freaking mind." Ocasio-Cortez called him
"rude," and Yoho called her a "fucking bitch" as he walked
away from the conversation.[24] Ocasio-Cortez confirmed the incident on Twitter and on the House floor, but
Yoho's office denied his comments, claiming that he "made a brief comment
to himself as he walked away summarizing what he believes her policies to be:
bullshit."[25] He later addressed the incident on the House floor,
saying, "Having been married for 45 years with two daughters, I'm very
cognizant of my language. The offensive name calling, words attributed to me by
the press were never spoken to my colleagues and if they were construed that
way, I apologize for their misunderstanding."[26] In July 2020, Nydia Velázquez,
a fellow Puerto Rican woman in congress, sat behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as
Ocacio-Cortez addressed congress and rebuked Yoho for having called her "a
fucking bitch".[27] In response, Ocasio-Cortez said, "Having a daughter
does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating
people with dignity and respect makes a decent man."[28][29]
Legislation
During his first term of office, Yoho sponsored a total of
eighteen bills.[30] One of the bills introduced during his first term, the
Preventing Executive Overreach on Immigration Act of 2014, was passed by the
House, but never voted on by the Senate.[31]
Yoho co-authored the Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act of 2014 (H.R. 1528;
113th Congress), a bill that would amend the Controlled
Substances Act to clarify that veterinarians are not required to have
separate registrations to dispense controlled substances outside
of their principal place of business, such as when treating animals on a farm.[32][33][34]
Yoho is a co-sponsor of the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of
2015 (H.R. 3134).[35] It has not moved since passing the House on September 18,
2015.
On June 9, 2016, Yoho voted "Nay," on the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability
Act (PROMESA, H.R. 5278) to restructure Puerto Rican debt.[36] The Republican-authored bill passed the House with
bipartisan support.
In March 2017, Yoho voted in
favor of the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, which would have allowed veterans who are
considered "mentally incompetent" to purchase ammunition and firearms
unless declared a danger by a judge
-Now, what would Mr. Yoho
would do if some one passing by one of his daughters tell one of them the same
thing he told AOC (Yoho married his wife Carolyn when they were 19 years old.
They have two daughters and a son.), "fucking bitch", as they walk down a movie corridor,
or exit a store or walk in a public park or just be in a public beach ocean as
Mr. Yoho carries his gun, as he said he does …and see the one who called her daughter:
"fucking bitch" as that one touches her face as he did to AOC in the
Congress of the United States of America in front of so many news men looking for
news to sell.
