Reporter new york democrat alexandria ocasiocortez thursday rejected the apology of Florida Republican ted yoho for a confrontation in which a member of the press overheard him using a misogynistic slur. In front of reporters, representative yoho called me, and i quote [ bleep ]. Ocasiocortez said yoho made the remark when he confronted her monday over her recent comments about poverty being a root cause of crime. On wednesday, he apologized for the heated confrontation but strongly denied using those words towards his colleague. Having been married for 45 years with two daughters, i am very cognizant of my language. The offensive namecalling words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleagues. So what i believe is that having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man. On thursday, ocasiocortez denounced what she calls a pattern of dehumanizing behavior by men. This issue is not about one incident. It is cultural. It is a culture of lack of impunity, of accepting, of violence and violent language against women. An entire structure of power that supports that.

Gayle . Wow. Oh, thats impressive. Listen, let me tell you something, ed. I think women, democrats and republicans, everywhere are applauding alexandria ocasiocortez and several good men are also giving her a round of applause. I was going to say. Have you ever seen anything like this . I was thinking you were going to say this. Have you ever seen anything like this in congress . No, but we asked the house historians and, in the past, there have been some examples of people using fourletter words, just not in the tv age. And so it clearly was a standout moment for that reason if anything. Yeah, its more than the fourletter words. I think we can all take some of her decency class lessons. Very well done. Thank you. Anthony . A private funeral for civil rights leader and longtime congressman john lewis will be held next thursday in atlanta. It will follow a weeklong celebration of his life.
