Chip Roy (R-TX) on Monday in demanding Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) apologize to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for accusing him of \u201ctrying to get me killed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 13 House members sent a joint letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday demanding that Ocasio-Cortez apologize for her conduct. The letter followed one Roy sent the House speaker on Friday over Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s allegation against Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has come to our attention that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a tweet in which she accused Senator Cruz, in essence, of attempted murder. We believe this is completely unacceptable behavior for a member of Congress to make this kind of scurrilous charge against another member, in the House or Senate, for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding electors as they interpreted the Constitution,\u201d the Monday letter says. \u201cWe ask you to call on her to immediately apologize and retract her comments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter is signed by GOP Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado; Ted Budd and Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina; Michael Burgess, Pat Fallon, Ronny Jackson, Pete Sessions, and Randy Weber of Texas; Jeff Duncan of South Carolina; Yvette Harrell of New Mexico, Jody Hice of Georgia; Doug Lamalfa of California; and Barry Moore of Alabama.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just when we thought <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepAOC<\/a> had found common ground with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTedCruz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenTedCruz<\/a>, she goes and accuses him of attempted murder. <\/p>\n<p>I joined a letter with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepChipRoy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepChipRoy<\/a> asking <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpeakerPelosi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SpeakerPelosi<\/a> to call for an apology. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xzctU5p2z7\">pic.twitter.com\/xzctU5p2z7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rep.
