In exchange for what The Hill reported Tuesday, Yoho called the first-term Democrat “unpleasant” for suggesting that the recent surge in crime in New York during the pandemic was due to unemployment and poverty.

“You are out of your damn mind,” he said.

After Ocasio-Cortez told him he was “rude,” Yoho muttered “damn bitch” as he walked away from her. Yoho apologized during his remarks on the floor of the House on Wednesday morning.

In his flat comments, Yoho did not acknowledge having used the sexist insult he made when he walked away from Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez said Wednesday that he also does not accept Yoho’s apology on the floor of the House.
