Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) apologized on the House floor Wednesday for what he called “the abrupt manner” of the conversation he had with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on the Capitol steps earlier this week.
“I cannot apologize for my passion, or for loving my God, my family, and my country,” Yoho said.
“Or for being a bigoted, misogynistic asshole,” he added. “After all, I’m a Florida Republican.”
“I cannot apologize for my passion, or for loving my God, my family, and my country,” Yoho said.
Facetious apology
As sincere as a Trumpian apology…
Oh wait…Trump does NOT apologize!
Apology non-apology!
Truth be told, Trump is trying to re-ignite his strategy in using The Squad as his crutch…so his Rethug and Faux News minions has started to fabricate fake news about AOC…Tapper called out Kilmeade for doing it!
Meanwhile…Trump has his own evil squad!
He plans to spend more time with what’s left of his manhood…
Fucking prick.
Self-serving non-apology, and then proceeds to wrap himself in religion, family values and patriotism, offering a different reality as to the events. Clearly he felt the need to try (and fail) to get out front before a House censure. Disgusting. Deplorable. Despicable.
“My raging insults and profanity were meant to be between the fucking bitch and myself, and not meant to be overheard by a fake news non-journalist.”
Another Florida Man.

Gaetz “concedes that he improperly sent $28,000 in taxpayer funds to a LLC connected to the speech-writing consultant, Darren Beattie, a former WH aide who was ousted after appearing at a convention known as a forum for racist and white supremacist views.” https://t.co/eut0LS0cOi

Matt Gaetz may need to pay his sister Erin, through her company Southpaw Content, more $$ for new content. https://t.co/5NzmmB1odb pic.twitter.com/TO4Hr1rnLz

The degree to which the republicans have become the “toxic masculinity” party is just stunning. Basically that is all that is left, no actual discernible coherent ideology. This and going after cheany show that what is going on is just some twisted incel shit, not conservatism in any respect.
Good luck with suburban women, or for that matter educated men…
“I cannot apologize for my passion, or for loving my God, my family, and my country,” Yoho said.
“And for proactive arrests too,” Yoho added.
T he proper punishment for Yoho would be for his Mother to wash.his mouth out with soap and make him pledge to try to stop lying.
So tell me Gracie, what part of “fucking bitch” did you misunderstand?
It’s a pretty common practice for pols of both parties to “employ” their spouses, children, siblings, and other family members to do campaign stuff. As far as I can tell, it’s not illegal to do so, though it certainly ought to be.
Gaetz has “run afoul” before, that time with booze on his breath. Typical behavior for those so inclined.
‘By “fucking bitch” I meant “the congressperson from New York.” The misunderstanding is an obvious one in that I’m a bigoted ass.’
and if she is not available, I’m sure we can find a Portland Mom to step in.
It is a dominance display the likes of which you would see on Wild Wild World of Animals, but on a national scale and directed at everyone the white Chrisian nationalists think they are entitled to dominate in both governance and culture…a dominance they believe is in fact part of the fundamental, inextricable nature, identity and purpose of this country. Backed into the corner formed by the meeting of demographic shifts and democratic process, chest beating and violent abuse of power are really all they have left as options.
Welcome to incipient fascism.
Ocasio-Cortez handled this with grace.
Of course there is a problem with expecting women to handle such things with grace.
