Allen West Says He Apologized to Wasserman Schultz

Freshman Rep. Allen West said Wednesday that he has apologized to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for calling her “vile, unprofessional and despicable” in an email.

“I just apologized,” West (R-Fla.) told a Huffington Post reporter.

But West was anything but contrite, remorseful or apologetic about the dustup in an email to supporters earlier in the day.

It’s no surprise Democrats and women’s groups used West’s now-infamous email to raise money, but the fiery tea-party-affiliated Congressman used the incident himself in a fundraising solicitation to supporters.

1. No one cares if he apologized,

he should resign immediately.

2. I'm sure he managed to squeeze a "F You" in his apology.

3. Were they "terrorist fist-bumps"? n/t

4. Let me be blunt

Perhaps he should look into the mirror. Does he not realize how these rightwingers he represents react when a "black" man (only they don't use the word "black") insults a white woman??? Does he forget that his base detests the color of his skin? Just saying..........

5. Debbie Wasserman Schultz blew it off as (paraphrasing here) No

wonder he cracked up, he's on the wrong side of this issue and he just can't take it..or something like that. He certainly did not phase her at all.

6. Another Republican-butt kissing Republican misogynist? Nothing new nt

7. West's history as a liar is well-documented

I'm going with the DNC's version.

8. A sorry excuse for an apology

from a sorry excuse for a public servant.

9. I really hate this man

This is what we have coming out of the military officer ranks these days? Are they all extremist loonies? I hope not....

10. Rethugs LIE a lot

They're either lying to themselves, or others. Or BOTH.
