Hispanic fight
Rep. Loretta Sanchez is accusing the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus of calling her a "whore."
According to the Associated Press, Rep. Joe Baca denied uttering the insult, which Mrs. Sanchez cited among grievances that led her to announce this week that she was quitting the group.
"Let me be clear: Her comments are categorically untrue," Mr. Baca said.
"He said it. For him to deny it is just a silly thing," Mrs. Sanchez said in an interview.
She and Rep. Hilda L. Solis said that Mr. Baca made the comment at an event in Sacramento, Calif., in the summer and that it was repeated to them by people they declined to identify. All three lawmakers are California Democrats.
The furor became public with a report Wednesday on the Web site politico.com about the "whore" comment.
