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 like him but it’s probably best that he’s done now. We need to coalesce behind a single anti-Jeb!

Seems like he just got thrust into a limelight that wasn’t quite ready for.

Weak on Second Amendment issues, too.

Weak on several fronts. Nice guy, but not a leader of nations.

I think he’d be good as, say, Surgeon General...

The minute you start the personal "apology tour" you're pretty much dead in the water.

Nice try Ben. NEXT!
