Wording this as a "reversal" is some wild water-carrying for Lee.
Not an ounce of public contrition. Doing the literal bare minimum.
Not a "reversal."
Just cowardly.
But go ahead and sugarcoat it, huh, STrib.
These congressional republicans are the problem and should share the responsibility of these attacks that they themselves promote. It’s a wonder more haven’t happened
Insensitive is too nice of a term. It's completely uncalled for by a sitting US Senator. He's supposed to be the adult in the room. Such a comment could warrant an eviction from the LDS, let alone the Senate.
