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."

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.

1. Another non-apology. They excel at that.

[CaptYossarian]

3. The last Republican apology was the Checkers speech.

Unless you count the "I'm sorry I got caught" sentiments.

[Marcuse]

10. Michael Flynn sincerely apologized to God, country and family. Then he took it all back.

[CaptYossarian]

13. Yes, he was sorry he got caught.

His dishonesty and arrogance made him a qualified part of the team.

29. So true. Nixon was a choir boy by comparison, but did pave the way.

[2naSalit]

2. It's not about your passion,

Fucking idiot. It's about your shithead behavior.

[dalton99a]

4. Good. He's a piece of shit.

[Botany]

5. Those words attributed to me I did not say to her.

n/t

[AnotherMother4Peace]

6. There is no apology for her to accept. That headline is misleading & incorrect.

"Ocasio-Cortez won't accept Yoho apology" - All I hear was a self-righteous rant doubling down on his bullshit: "That doesn't mean WE should be disrespectful" "Words attributed to me" - what a load of crap.

7. Lacks the courage

it takes courage to apologize, this man is a wimp.

[frazzled]

8. Here's how a person apologizes

Explained powerfully and in detail by Mr. Brown. Turn up the volume for full understanding of how it's done.

[iluvtennis]

9. Nice. thanks for the post. nt

[calimary]

11. I wouldn't accept that "apology" either.

You come to ME, dude, and apologize PERSONALLY AND TO MY FACE.

PERIOD.

Yes, I'm SHOUTING!!!

[Grokenstein]

26. But that would take courage.

[calimary]

30. Yeah, that's true.

Invertebrates have no backbone.

[Marcuse]

12. Censure him, at the least.

[Phoenix61]

14. AOC was a bartender and anyone who has

ever done that job knows you develop superhuman hearing. She heard exactly what she said she heard. He’s too much of a chicken to admit he said it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Being drunk is no excuse for shitty behaviour and being "passionate" is not one either

Adults maintain control. Children are not capable.

[lame54]

16. YOHO - You Only Hate Once...

But it last a lifetime

[Ponietz]

21. Yo Ho gives a bad name to flagging down a hooker

[lame54]

22. Maybe that is what is said to him...

Usually before a vote

[LymphocyteLover]

17. Good-- he didn't even apologize.

he's just another piece of Republican filth

[Sloumeau]

18. When they say "I cannot apologize", it is not an apology.

How does "passion" justify calling a woman a "f***ing b****"?

This is the behavior of misogynistic men. Yoho is a yahoo.

[poli-junkie]

19. Yoho, Yoho! A Slimy Ass Is He!

...to be sung to the tune of "A Pirates Life"

[hatrack]

23. Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of dumb!

[djacq]

20. Lame A_s apology from YoHo.

24. Huh?

[LiberalFighter]

25. I didn't consider it an apology.

[JohnnyRingo]

28. Yoho apologised for the "misunderstanding".

As if he didn't say it others are too stupid to know what he meant.
Maybe he was refering to her aloof pet canine.
