Rep. @AOC in her Instagram Live last week:

"In these past three weeks, I felt like it was important to give a window of opportunity, right? Maybe in some world, Senators Josh Hawley, or Senator Ted Cruz, or Representative Mo Brooks, would say:
2/ "...'You know what? I was mistaken. I did not fully realize what the impact of my actions was going to be. And now in retrospect, I see that it incited something that I never wanted to incite. And for that, I am sorry.'
3/ "...But no. They've had almost a month. And they haven't said that. They have doubled down.

"And they said: 'I did the right thing. And if I could go back, I would do it all over again.'...
4/ "...So that tells me that these people remain a present danger. Because what that tells me is that when given another window of political opportunity for themselves, even if they know that it means that it will endanger their colleagues, they will do it again."
