Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday refused to accept an apology from Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) delivered just hours earlier, framing it as an insincere gesture following a tense exchange between the pair on the steps of the Capitol two days earlier.
"I will not teach my nieces and young people watching that this an apology, and what they should learn to accept," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
"Yoho is refusing responsibility."
- Does not apologize or name any action he did
- Does not accept responsibility
- Lies (this was not a “conversation,” it was verbal assault)
- Distracts by making it abt poverty (ironically)
- Says everyone else is wrong and the incident never happened.
This is not an apology.

Yoho took to the House floor Wednesday morning and apologized for his tone following the confrontation with the firebrand progressive on Monday over the issues of crime and policing.
During the brief exchange, which was overheard by a reporter, the Florida Republican called Ocasio-Cortez "disgusting" and “out of your freaking mind” for her suggestion recently that poverty and unemployment were leading to an increase in crime in New York City amid the pandemic. He was also heard using a crude, sexist slur as he was walking away.
Hey AOC, do something useful. Go fix me a sammich.
She may not know how. You may get a pile of sammich ingredients on a plate.
OK, we’ll apply these standards to all liberal non-apologies, then.
AOC, with all due respect*, nobody cares about what you have to say.
* that’s a struggle.
The Hill had a very loving treatment of AOC in that article. From the article, Yoho was totally to blame, and AOC was the adult, a real stateswoman.
I almost threw up reading it.
Mt 18:21-35
the damned ed do not accept the apologies
He should have offered the type of apology leftists use, sorry if you were offended......
Never,never apologize. If you said it,stand by it.
Never apologize to these a-holes. They only accept apologies from other leftist a-holes who get caught being horrible people. Anyone on the right will only get scorn at an effort at civility.
Why apologize?
Actually I believe we don’t need these easy target punching bag stories for the Dems to use.
We have problems already.
Old idea: When someone slanders a person they can get out of it if they can prove in court that what they said is true.
Maybe that she and Mister Ed shared the same orthodontist.
Prove it with Delta Dental receipt printouts.
Guess that couldn’t work against a feminist, Squad , woman of color, beloved national icon of the Dems. Yoho should have pretended he admired her as an equal.
I get this feeling that AOC is one of those celebrities who will come to a bad end.
I had the same feeling about Michael Jackson.
And that’s what AOC is — a media-created celebrity. Attaining the status of “hack politician” would be a step up for her.
The reporter just threw it together in 5 mins and revealed his bias
DO NOT APOLOGIZE to any of these commie tramps, I would Double Down by repeating her statements against Trump against Her, take that dumb bitch.
Too bad there is pandemic.
Otherwise, that NYC taqueria would be open, and AOC could go back to tending bar!!!!
3 things you forgot where the chap stick goes.
>>Hey AOC, do something useful. Go fix me a sammich.<<
Or draw deeply on your extensive background and make me a Harvey Wallbanger.
