Scott Kelly, a retired American astronaut with multiple space flights under his belt, apologized Sunday after quoting Winston Churchill and calling the 20th century British prime minister "one of the greatest leaders of modern times."
"Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support. My point was we need to come together as one nation. We are all Americans. That should transcend partisan politics," Kelly wrote on Twitter in the evening.

Actually, it's her husband!!! Nope... Gifford's husband is Mark. Scott is his twin brother.

I realized that and I asked for my post to be removed but it hasn’t been yet. Admin moderator please remove my post #160.

I knew the Kelly brothers when they were in high school. Lost touch when I went to college and was very surprised to learn many years latter that they had become pilots/astronauts. They were nice guys and reasonably bright but no rocket scientists. They lived in a section of Northern NJ where unless you were a WASP, being a Democrat was in your DNA. And — are you ready for this — they liked to drink beer!!! We all did!

At my school shortly afterwards, we listened to an audio recording of the funeral.

His brother is also an astronaut, Mark Kelly, and is the gun control douchebag married to the OTHER gun control douchebag Gabbie Giffords.
