Somebody must have produced some pictures he didn't want to go public.
Note that he apologized "if he offended anyone". He did not retract his statements.
IOW, what he said was "I meant what I said, and I'm sorry if that offends you. And I'm sorry you are making such a big deal about it."
WOW ...if Turbin had been a repub it would have read: "REPUBLICAN U.S. Senator....."REPUBICAN Senator Dick Durbin was castigated by Democrat and a miniscule number of Republican "
Just Amazing.
He's not sorry. Zot, I am so sick of the everlasting apologizing ... it doesn't change a thing.
He's only sorry about the backlash, he still has to retract his words.
He has now offered the Senate his "heartfelt apologies", saying he never meant to offend US troops.
"They're the best. I never, ever intended any disrespect for them," the Illinois senator said.
Never meant to offend, or intended any disrespect. My ass. How can he compare our soldiers to Nazis and not mean to offend or disrespect?!! This man is a compulsive liar.
What he's sorry about is that the spineless Republicans got some backbone about this issue, as they should for EVERYTHING else.
