Dem Rep. Harley Rouda Dodges on if Rep. Omar Should Apologize for ‘Benjamins’ Comment

‘We want to see a President that is a leader in how we should behave’

EXCERPT:

TODD: "How do you articulate what happened here. Do you take congresswoman Omar at her word that she wasn’t trying to be anti-Semitic, and she has never apologized."

ROUDA: "I think it would behoove all of us in elected positions, from the President to the members of Congress, to do a better job of choosing our words correctly, acting like the diplomats that we’re elected to be and make sure that we’re not denigrating anybody. We want to see a President that is a leader in how we should behave, and hopefully the rest of us can follow suit."
