KEN LOVETT
Kenneth Langone has issued a statement apologizing for his comments linking the progressive's strategy to fight income inequality to Nazi Germany.

"My remarks were intended to discourage pitting one group against another group in a society. If my choice of words was inappropriate -- and they well may have been that -- I extend my profound apologies to anyone and everyone who I may have offended," Langone said in the statement.

His comments to Politico set off criticism and calls for Cuomo to repudiate the comments and even return the money Langone has donated and raised for him.

Cuomo and his aides so far have been silent. UPDATED: Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing says, Langone "apologized for using inappropriate words."

1. I don't care

I don't believe one word of his so-called apology and I will never again set foot in a Home Depot for as long as I live (small loss, as I never liked the store anyway).

2. I agree. I don't believe him and I won't go in his store.

3. Ha! We're going to begin construction on ...

our empty nester in the next year; I'm looking forward to telling the contractor, "nothing from Home Depot."

"My remarks were intended to discourage pitting one group against another group in a society."

WTH is he talking about? Discourage divisiveness by being divisive?

5. This guy was pissed because the pope said the poor should be the focus of the church.

Told Cardinal Dolan fundraising will take a hit if the pope doesn't lay off the rich.

6. Langone doesn't care for the pope's view about rich and poor people.

He said the church will take a hit in fundraising.

7. And Cuomo is his bud.

That's so 1%.
