LEMON: So, this is what it sounds like when someone doesn't accept your apology. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the freshman New York Democrat, taking to the floor of the House today, slamming Florida Republican Congressman Ted Yoho for reportedly using vulgar words against her after a heated exchange on the capitol steps this week, during which a reporter overheard him call her, well, she will tell you.</s>REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-NY): Representative Yoho put his finger in my face. He called me disgusting. He called me crazy. He called me out of my mind. And in front of reporters, Representative Yoho called, me and I quote, (muted) bitch. These are the words that Representative Yoho levied against a congresswoman.</s>LEMON: Yoho responding to Ocasio-Cortez with a statement, insisting he didn't say those vulgar words. No one was accosted, bullied, or attacked. This was a brief policy discussion, plain and simple. And we have our differences. We are both passionate members of Congress and equals. The fact still remains I'm not going to apologize for something I didn't say. Except there was a witness to that exchange, I had him on the show and he says that he absolutely heard it. Calling a congresswoman an f-ing b word. That wouldn't quality as a policy discussion, even in the Trump era. We'll be right back.
