Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida accused socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of being “disingenuous” about a reported confrontation the two had on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building earlier this week.
The Florida Republican was reported to have had a heated exchange with the New York Democrat in which Yoho called her recent anti-police comments regarding rising crime rates in New York City “disgusting.”
“You are out of your freaking mind,” Yoho was reportedly overheard saying, leading Ocasio-Cortez to accuse of him being “rude.”
After the exchange, the two separated with Yoho reportedly muttering, “F**king b**ch,” the latter of which he has denied.
The Florida lawmaker apologized on Wednesday.
“I rise to apologize for the abrupt manner of the conversation I had,” Yoho 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.”
Ocasio-Cortez refused his apology, however.
