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.

Once again, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) won’t let Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) get away with hoodwinking the public.

Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday continued her streak of headline-worthy dunks on Cruz — even after the Trump-target-turned-loyalist unexpectedly found common ground with the New York Democrat over their criticism of stock trading platform Robinhood.

Robinhood had blocked users from buying or trading certain stocks in light of the unexpected and entertaining run on GameStop.

Shortly after Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, decried Robinhood’s decision as “unacceptable” and called for a hearing on the issue, Cruz chimed in by tweeting that he “fully agrees.”

Welp. Cruz once again found himself in familiar territory: getting called out by the social media savvy lawmaker.

I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.

Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.

In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

Ocasio-Cortez still wasn’t having it after Cruz accused the New York Democrat of inciting “partisan anger” in remarks to Capitol Hill reporters on Thursday — a rich assertion given Cruz’s vote to challenge election results just hours after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month. For months leading up to the Capitol riot, Cruz egged on former President Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud.

“You know, there’s a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side,” Cruz said, in response to Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet, before going onto repeat the GOP’s laughable calls for unity. “It’s, it’s not healthy for our country, it’s certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others.”

Ocasio-Cortez refused to let Cruz get away with his attempt at singing kumbaya …

“We need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable. But if you’re mad at that you’re divisive.” – GOP

… which Ocasio-Cortez had done before in tweets posted days after the Capitol riots Trump and his Republican allies, like Cruz, incited.

Your GOP colleague in the House praised Hitler this week. A Confederate flag was hung outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Yet you continue to deny this clear connection in the aftermath of Wednesday’s violence.

You disgrace yourself and your office further every day. Resign.

Ocasio-Cortez even found a way to call out Cruz’s “unity” gambit by pointing out the Texas senator’s campaign fundraising messaging that still pushed for challenging the election results amid the mob of Trump supporters breaching the Capitol.

Your complete refusal to acknowledge any of the above harm, wrongdoing, or even misjudgement; & your lack of any self-reflection in how these acts contributed to yesterday’s chaos is alarming. It is unbecoming of any elected official and makes you unfit for the office you occupy.

There was also that time a week ago when Ocasio-Cortez had to school Cruz — who, let’s be honest, certainly knows better — on the Paris climate accord.

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva?

And reminding Cruz last year that she was qualified to blast then-Vice President Mike Pence for heading up the White House coronavirus task force, citing Pence’s science denial that fed into one of the worst HIV outbreaks during his time serving as Indiana’s governor.

Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.

Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. https://t.co/vOIwJhpl7q
