By Annie-Rose Strasser
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) today walked back his previous accusation that generals were lying about their support of President Obamas Pentagon budget. On CNNs State of the Union this morning, Ryan said that he had called to apologize to Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
CROWLEY: You have apologized to him?
RYAN: Yeah, I called him to tell him that.
Watch it:
<...>
On ABCs This Week, Ryan also said he totally misspoke, and claimed, My issue is I think that the presidents budget on the Pentagon is a budget-driven strategy, not a strategy-driven budget. But even that statement is a false attack on the generals.

Naturally, he said his first attack and then made his apology with a straight face.
