A day after Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch disparaged Obamacare supporters as the "stupidest, dumbass people" he has ever met for embracing the "stupidest, dumbass bill" he has ever seen, he issued a statement apologizing.
Yesterday, I made a poorly worded joke about Obamacare supporters—a joke
that was not reflective of my actual feelings towards my friends on the
other side. Throughout my term of service, I have always recognized the
importance of civility, particularly in engaging with those of
different political perspectives. While I occasionally slip up, I
believe that my legislative record reflects my commitment to
bipartisanship and civility much more than my flippant, off-the-cuff
comment," the statement read.
