Climate of Fear Part 44
I forgot to post this one from a few weeks ago. It seems like the guy realized his mistake after making it and gave a decent apology for a politician. But it is still not appropriate to threaten to shoot the president. WNBC reports:
State Comptroller Alan Hevesi publicly apologized Thursday for a "beyond dumb" remark about a fellow Democrat putting "a bullet between the president's eyes."Hevesi called a mea culpa press conference hours after putting his foot in his mouth at the Queens College commencement.
"I apologize to the president of the United States" and to the fellow state politician, Sen. Charles Schumer, Hevesi said. "I am not a person of violence.
"I am apologizing as abjectly as I can. There is no excuse for it. It was beyond dumb."
