Johnny Depp has issued an apology for a controversial comment about President Donald Trump, asking, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

“It did not come out as intended, and I intended no malice. I was only trying to amuse, not to harm anyone,” the actor said in a statement to People on Friday.

Depp’s joke, in reference to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth in 1865, was made during an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival. “I want to qualify, I

“...I intended no malice.”

Sure you didn’t intend it, freak. Assassination is such a funny thing to imply and hope for. You just didn’t intend this would be noticed.

Apology not accepted.

“It did not come out as intended..."

Well that little fragment of what Depp said is probably true.

If Depp weren't so addled, he would've known that comparing himself to Lincoln's assassin was not a clever allusion, even for his equally addled audience.

Lincoln, after all, is considered by Obama-ites to be one of "their" presidents. Equal, in some ways, to the sainted Obama.

Why the supposed apology? Simple: if he didn't apologize, when he lands on US soil the Federal Inspection Service (Customs and Immigration) would have immediately detained him and he would be grilled by the US Secret Service and possibly the FBI. THAT would truly permanently damage his acting career.

Was the apology before or after the Secret Service visit?

He also said,” Maybe it’s time.”
Democrats are exposing themselves as the thugs they really are.

....Remember with that he said, “I lie for a living....

Most democrats in a position of power, especially politicians won’t even admit that fact.

Dipwad Depp found out he’s going to be met by Secret Service
and FBI agents when he tries to re-enter the USA.

He has a new movie out; “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.”

Pretty sure he only apologized for the joke because his movie isn’t doing nearly as well as hoped. Bet the studio was riding his arse about his statement.

Depp is not a stand up comedian and it wasn’t a joke.......it was a hate filled rant.

I do believe Mr. Deppshit is headed toward bankruptcy already. This will be the nail in the coffin.

Johnny Wilkes Depp should stick to beating his wife. Humor is not his bag.

Bull hockey, John. BTW, I have NEVER viewed so much as 1 minute of one of your films, EVER, except if it was played as a preview of an upcoming in a theater while awaiting that evening’s feature flick. And I promise not to do otherwise now.

I must have missed the apology part. All I saw was a shallow defense and some offhand groveling.
