Washington (CNN)Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson apologized for commenting Wednesday that prisoners’ changes after they leave jail proves being gay is a choice, but said that the science is still murky on the issue.
In a statement, Carson said he “realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues.”
“I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended,” he added.

I liked him more when he was being honest about it:
Super, super rare in politicians.

Now bear in mind that the Freeperati were all about Uncle Ben – he’s a blah person that they could empathize with – a Herman Cain without the creepy-ass smile.
Now?

They ALWAYS apologize. It’s pathetic.

Exactly…a MUCH BETTER reply would be to apologize to people that are ‘offended’ by the remark, and then double-down by stating that’s how he see’s it.
If he lets his ENEMIES run his campaign, he loses, immediately.

Ah – the classic “non-apology apology” –
“I apologize if any of you rump rangers were offended rather than excited at the idea of being used as a sex toy by a violent lifer, because f**k you!”
Well, does anyone here have a better idea?
To: GIdget2004
I apologize, what I meant to say is all faggots must be exterminated.
