Discussion for article #229363

He never apologized, TPM. Calling what you quoted an apology is almost as offensive as the comments he was not apologizing for making.

He looks and sounds like the crazy uncle you dread seeing at Thanksgiving.

More people need to confront these hateful politicians.

Even more need to vote them out of office.

As the lady said, “Fire him!”

Smooth, the man is just soooooo smooth. Reminds me of the grumpy opinionated but tactless uncle you never want to see at Thanksgiving.

That he was wrong in his initial comment and in his “apology” is almost irrelevant. He is just clueless.

Let’s see, he’s profoundly sorry that people were offended by his comments and BTW, that they WILL NOT do anything about the plague of suicide.

God, what an asshole.

He’s sorry that they were offended because THEY won’t take the time to understand the need to stop these tragedies from occurring? That’s not an apology, that’s a further insult to people who were offended by his original statement. Please stop saying he apologized. He didn’t; he doubled down.

Need to check whether he is lying about his nephew.
He obviously is a proven liar. remember he claimed that the “last man who touched him ended up dead on the ground”
We all know that this was false.
Maybe his nephew came from the same “reality” that the dead man on the ground inhabited.

Time after time Rep. Don Young (R-AK) has exhibited behavior that is suggestive of mental instability - is it alcoholism? is it a pattern of clinically definable impulse control issues? or is it simply that, at age 81, he is just not fully in command of himself?

He nonpologized from the bottom of his heartless heart.

Did Don Young call her the c-word right after that exchange?
