A Christian charity has forced Florida Rep. Ted Yoho to resign from its board for allegedly calling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “f–king bitch.”

The Republican stepped down from anti-hunger group Bread for the World on Friday, the organization said.

Chris Ford, a spokesperson for the group, said it “sought his resignation as an action that reaffirms our commitment to coming alongside women and people of color, nationally and globally, as they continue to lead us to a more racially inclusive and equitable world.”

Yoho’s “recent actions and words as reported in the media are not reflective of the ethical standards expected of members of our Board of Directors,” Ford told CNN.

Yoho on Monday confronted Ocasio-Cortez outside the Capitol, telling the New York Democratic socialist that she was “disgusting” for her recent remarks tying poverty and unemployment to the recent spike in crime in New York City — allegedly calling her a “f–king bitch.”

On Wednesday, Yoho apologized for “the abrupt manner of the conversation” but denied using “offensive name-calling words” against AOC.

Democrats hammered Yoho in House floor speeches on Thursday, arguing Yoho’s conduct showed there’s sexism against female representatives.

“In front of reporters, Representative Yoho called me, and I quote, a f–king bitch,” AOC recounted for the Congressional Record.

“I have tossed men out of bars that have used language like Mr. Yoho. And I have encountered this type of harassment riding the subway in New York City. This is not new. And that is the problem,” she said.
