Washington (CNN)Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson apologized for commenting Wednesday that prisoners' changes after they leave jail proves being gay is a choice, but said that the science is still murky on the issue.
In a statement, Carson said he "realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues."
"I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended," he added.

I liked him more when he was being honest about it:
Super, super rare in politicians.

They ALWAYS apologize. It’s pathetic.

He’s not in a position to apologize...only well-known and trusted people can pull that off. This will cost him.

Exactly...a MUCH BETTER reply would be to apologize to people that are ‘offended’ by the remark, and then double-down by stating that’s how he see’s it.
If he lets his ENEMIES run his campaign, he loses, immediately.

Why can’t Republicans learn to talk about so-called special interest groups?

This is why, as much as I love him, he’s not ready for prime time. The press will destroy him.

Already hedging your bets huh Ben?

I love the guy, but he's not ready for the presidency. Maybe if a wise president appoints him to his cabinet or as an adviser, he will garner enough experience for a presidential run in 2020. He has a lot to learn in addition to telling the whiners to kiss his rear.
