How many times have you heard politicians, entertainers or someone from the media say something they have had to apologize for? Some claim their statement was taken out of context. A few make heartfelt apologies, while others use the “if I have offended anyone” line.
During a January 17, 2014 radio interview New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, while talking about Republican candidates in New York, said those who oppose abortion and gay rights and favor traditional gun ownership “have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.” When criticized for his statement, he claimed he was referring to New York candidates, but you know that’s his view of all conservatives.
I guess that’s why most right-thinking people live in flyover country. Painting conservatives as extreme, as most progressives do, Cuomo said, “you have a schism with the Republican Party … searching to define their soul.” Another Democrat who thinks all factions within the GOP should fall in lock step like those in his party.
