Congressman Yoho apologizes for Ocasio-Cortez incident

Florida Congressman Ted Yoho says a day after Majority Leader Steny Hoyer called him to apologize for calling New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez an expletive that he stood on the floor to address strife injected into an already contentious Congress, having worked with many members over for terms with others on both sides of the aisle, he was a man of his word, so to take a moment to address the body and rise to apologize for the abrupt manner of the conversation she had with his colleague, true they disagreed on policies and visions for America but that did not mean to be disrespectful, having been married for 45 years with two dollars, he was cognizant of his language and the offensive words attributed to him by the press were never spoken to his colleague but construed that way, apologizing for the misunderstanding.
