Here is my full response regarding Mr. Yoho and the culture of misogyny that inspired his actions. I am deeply appreciative of my colleagues and everyone speaking up and out against the rampant mistreatment of women both in Congress and across the country. ⬇️ QT @cspan: Rep @AOC: "I do not need Rep. Yoho to apologize to me. Clearly he does not want to. Clearly when given the opportun… https://t.co/y9iW1MLoxX)
Republican responds to calling a colleague “disgusting” & a “f—ing b*tch” w/ “I cannot apologize for my passion” and blaming others. I will not teach my nieces and young people watching that this an apology, and what they should learn to accept. Yoho is refusing responsibility. QT @atrupar: “I cannot apologize for my passion” — @RepTedYoho’s “apology” to AOC https://t.co/Bh30Phu8zp)
The irony about Yoho’s excuse for his “passion” in accosting me is that he says he has a personal history w/ poverty, and took offense that I discussed poverty and crime. So... he accosted me... to prove poverty doesn’t result in traumatized behavior? OK where’s the apology QT @atrupar: “I cannot apologize for my passion” — @RepTedYoho’s “apology” to AOC https://t.co/Bh30Phu8zp)
One of my first hearings in Congress was of Michael Cohen, called in by Chairman Cummings. Here⬇️ Cohen testified that Trump manipulated his assets,& that we need to see his taxes. @OversightDems is some of my fav work in Congress. It’s a slow burn, but yields major results. /1 QT @cspan: WATCH: Complete exchange between @RepAOC @AOC and Michael Cohen. https://t.co/dBpwzeEYRY)

One year ago. QT @nowthisnews: .@AOC made a great point about white supremacist violence and the label of terrorism https://t.co/kc4bpr1MRN)
We followed up in hearings. Repeatedly I was told this was a line that cannot be crossed despite clear, targeted violence that white supremacists are engaged in - bc the risks to civil liberties were too great. The double standard is staring right at us. https://t.co/DKjosMdjpt QT @nowthisnews: .@AOC made a great point about white supremacist violence and the label of terrorism https://t.co/kc4bpr1MRN)
I have questioned the @FBI in Congress as to why they don’t use domestic terror labels for white supremacist groups. They testified that the law prevents labeling US groups as terrorists, w/ severe civil liberties concerns. Where is that concern today? https://t.co/OHhkPrOKQu
Remember this? Facebook’s ties to white supremacy-linked orgs and sympathy for disinformation campaigns is not a small thing. It is high level decision making, and appears to come from the top. Rewatch this moment. Especially the end. It’s relevant to what‘s unfolding now. QT @BrookeOnAir: This is a WILD exchange.

Over the last year, it has become clear that many of the Republicans crying about the #GreenNewDeal... have never actually read it! Maybe they aren’t readers, so today I chose to read it to them.

For GOPers who spent this week mocking the poor w/“bootstrap” jokes, why don’t you listen to Ms. Hutchinson’s testimony & give one damn reason why we shouldn’t have an accurate poverty line in this country. Unless of course you were talking w/o paying attn to the actual hearing. QT @ajplus: "I've pulled myself up by the bootstraps so many damn times that I ripped them off."

We have no idea how many people in the US are living in poverty. That’s bc the “poverty line” doesn’t measure true poverty at all. Our Recognize Poverty Act directs the gov to actually find out how many Americans are struggling. Ask yourself why there’s resistance to doing so.

Trump’s proposed rule changes put *one million children* at risk of going hungry without school lunch. He’s not “lifting” kids off food assistance. He’s *kicking* kids off food assistance.
