Ocasio-Cortez criticizes Rep. Yoho for 'refusing responsibility' in his apology

Standing on the House floor Thursday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed comments made earlier this week by Rep. Ted Yoho, saying that his language was "dehumanizing" and criticizing his apology for using "women, wives, and daughters as shields and excuses for poor behavior."

The Hill initially reported that Yoho confronted Ocasio-Cortez in a Capitol staircase on Monday, telling her that she was "disgusting" for linking a rise in crime to the unemployment caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Yoho said "f------ b----," as she left, according to The Hill.

On the House floor Wednesday, the Florida Republican denied that his use of profanity had been directed at Ocasio-Cortez and apologized for the "abrupt manner of the conversation" he had with her.

"Having been married for 45 years with two daughters, I'm very cognizant of my language," he said. "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."
