The chickens are swiftly coming home to roost for Ted Yoho, after his rude verbal assault on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and then, even worse, his tepid non-apology for same. Apparently Yoho forgot that he was on the board of the Christian group, Bread For the World, and they might have an opinion about how disgracefully he conducted himself. And they did. Bread.org
“Bread for the World is deeply concerned about Rep. Ted Yoho’s verbal attack on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and what we and others perceive to be his non-apology.
“Bread for the World is concerned that his behavior in the past few days does not reflect the values of respect and compassion that Jesus calls on us to exhibit every day and we expect from our board members. Before we determine any further action, we have reached out to his office and have sought an opportunity to speak with him about the incident.”
It will be interesting to follow up on this and see if Yoho finally steps up to the plate and does the right thing. Or, if he resigns from the board, then we’ll know how concerned he is about world hunger. Or, if they throw him off the board, which would make a statement to other yoyos like Yoho, that this kind of behavior belongs in the Stone Age and will not be tolerated by decent people today.
Good for Bread For the World for speaking up. The faux Christian evangelicals may be tolerating every outrage that comes out of Trump world, but increasingly there are real Christians, i.e., those who live according to the teachings of Christ, who are putting their foot down. This is encouraging.
It’s nice to see.
One of his statements was that he would not apologize for his passion regarding the issue. The problem is, he wasn’t arguing an issue, he was personally attacking her. I am so fed up with their lies and denial, I can’t stand it.
The issue, for him, is that a young and intelligent woman has the audacity to be all three of those things in public.
🙂 I won’t go on and on about it; but any close reading of the New Testament – regardless of one’s beliefs – reveals a committed feminist at the center of the story. I hope Bread for the World plans some instruction for him along those lines.
And brow – four things. And, yes, they are all “issues” to Republicans.
Just further proof to me that American Christians are understanding what a devil’s bargain the evangelicals made by aligning themselves with the Republicans. As Jimmy Carter did with Jerry Falwell, I hope in a very Christian way that Bread For The World told Yoho to go to hell.
Another anti-Christ that supports the Antichrist in the White House.
Congressman Yahoo (AKA YOHO) should have a Swiftian response .
Gee, they just discovered he’d working hard to keep Matt Gaetz from monopolizing the title of “Florida’s dumbest congressman”? Go figure.
He’s off the board of “Bread for the World”.
Do you have any idea what Bread for the World said in 2016 when the Trump campaign sold buttons that said “Life’s a Bitch, Don’t Vote for One”? I’d be curious to know.
