House lawmaker apologizes for using vulgarity when asked to mask up.
"Today, while heading to the House floor for votes, I respectfully asked my colleague @RepHalRogers to put on a mask while boarding the train. He then poked my back, demanding I get on the train. When I asked him not to touch me, he responded, 'kiss my ass,'" the Ohio lawmaker tweeted.In this Jan. 17, 2022, file photo, Rep.

In a third and final tweet, Beatty tagged Rogers' Twitter account and said,"when you are ready to grow up and apologize for your behavior, you know where to find me." "I will not give Hal Rogers a pass," said Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., who is running for Senate."Look, we're all dealing with the same thing, but his racist, inappropriate behavior against Joyce Beatty is totally unacceptable. And we will not tolerate it."In this March 27, 2019, file photo, Rep. Hal Rogers speaks at a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing in Washington, D.C.
