    Because it's not an article. It's an opinion piece written by a hard core conservative.

    the distinction is no more significant than describing her as 'hard core conservative.'

    So.... plenty of hard core conservatives are women. Also, since she clearly doesn't believe Yoho said what was reported, she had nothing to defend on behalf of women.

    You know that's not true. Hard core Conservatives and Liberals that write opinion pieces about politics definitely have a bias.

    I think her political viewpoints give more insight into why she blames AOC and paints Yoho as the victim far more so than her gender. Plenty of men and women have patriarchal views.

    So... if a hard core liberal wrote a scathing op-ed piece condemning some conservative representative, you'd take it at face value? Good to know

    Well.... you don't give any credence to the fact that a hard core conservative could be biased in her opinion piece regarding a liberal representative.

    Ok... answer that one then. Also, did she interview the reporter who overheard the comment?

    The author is forming an opinion based on the word of Yoho. The author did not seek out the word of the person who reported the incident. The author is defending the conservative, Yoho, while demeaning the liberal, AOC.

    Thus it is an opinion piece colored by the political views of the author.

    But you go ahead and continue to believe that the fact the author is conservative doesn't impact her op-ed piece.

    from the op-ed:

    When AOC first heard about the comment, she turned it into a defiant tweet “hey ‘b****es’ get stuff done.”

    But two days later, she staged a pantomime of fainting-couch feminism, gratuitously reading the vulgarity into the Congressional Record.

    “Representative Yoho called me, and I quote, “a f–king b****.”
    I think reading something she didn't even hear into the Congressional Record two days later is what we might call in the vernacular, a b**** move.
