Kelly Campaign Spokesman Apologizes [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 18 Oct 2020 | John Semmens

T.J. L’Heureux, Arizona Democratic Senate candidate Mark Kelly’s deputy press secretary, called police “worthless f–ing pigs” in a tweet posting. This week, under pressure from the campaign, he apologized saying “I deeply regret my comment and apologize for what I wrote. My comment does not reflect who I am or what I believe. I have deleted the tweet.”

Afterward L’Heureux lamented what he called “the disturbing trend in our society that forces a person to have to apologize for his personal opinions. It’s not as if I was tweeting something that any loyal Democrat would disagree with, but the climate of hate incited by Republicans is stifling free speech in an unprecedented way.”

The Deputy Press Secretary went on to point out that “Twitter did not block my tweet nor lock my account for this so-called offensive remark. I admit that I am encouraged that the concept of free speech is still respected in some quarters. I look forward to a Democratic victory across-the-board that will solidify the kind of open exchange of ideas that Twitter bravely defends in these perilous times.”

Wow. What a moving demonstration of contrition. So, let me get this straight: if you’re on the right, a slip of the tongue, a political statement long ago that is no longer fashionable, or even your spouse expressing support for the President online gets you fired And damned for all tome. Because you’re harshly criticized for maintaining and expressing a hateful and destructive position makes you a poor put upon baby.
Got it.

So, walking around saying in a singsong voice, “I smell baaaa-connnn” is wrong for Democrats too?

Yeah! he meant it.....shows what a lying bastard Kelly is,or stupid....he never thought to ask “ya got any tweets out there I need to know about” Forcing this bastard to issue a lame ass apology means nothing....correct response “YOU”RE FIRED” (God that felt good) Was it good for you????
