Scott Kelly, a retired American astronaut with multiple space flights under his belt, apologized Sunday after quoting Winston Churchill and calling the 20th century British prime minister "one of the greatest leaders of modern times."
"Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support. My point was we need to come together as one nation. We are all Americans. That should transcend partisan politics," Kelly wrote on Twitter in the evening.

Insanity. I'm speechless. This isn't satire.

I just posted on Twitter that a few months ago, I was checking to see if a Churchill quote was accurate. I came across a Churchill quote website and emailed them. Sir Winston’s grandson wrote me back.
I was not embarrassed, I was proud to make the brief acquaintance of the grandson of the man who saved the world from tyranny.
Scott Kelly is an idiot.

What atrocities did Churchill commit? What exactly is he upset about?
To: Governor Dinwiddie
You’re not fit to shine his shoes. Very possibly the greatest man of the 20th Century.

I was confused until he gave the interview, the idiot went on about the country being racist blah blah.
he didnt “apologize” for quoting Churchill in our interpretation of him being one of the greatest but the racist crap, was totally stupid. I think he went to outer space too many times and affected his brain..

Obviously, not only has he gone into space, but he’s got plenty of space between his ears.
