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.

While Churchill, who died in 1965, is often viewed as a successful war-time leader...he is also commonly criticized for his attitudes on race and colonialism.
Only by complete retards...
The greatest man of the 20th century.
What a weak spineless balless cuck of a “man.”
Churchill made some rather accurate observations about Islam.
He should apologize because Winston Churchill was THE greatest man of the 20th Century.
What does the guy have to apologize about?? My Lord. If it werent for Churchill the Brits would have been flying the Swastika! All of this PC crap has to end.

WHAAA?? A TransGenderNaut?
I think you can take “very possibly” out of that statement. Churchill was the greatest, most important man of the 20th century. Without him, many of the other accomplishments of the century would not have occurred.
How anyone could apologize for quoting Sir Winston is beyond me. I guess it shows how intellectually bankrupt the left hopes to make everyone.
LOL what an idiot..but what do you expect from the same guy who blamed Sarah Palin for a leftist shooting his wife in the head
He said ‘in victory, magnanimity’...
...and then felt the need to apologize for it?
What a wuss.
What a Cuck.
If coming together, as a nation, should transcend politics, as Kelly stated, then there should be no need for an apology. Period.
Also....is he going to apologize for apparently supporting the atrocities committed by the foes of Churchill and the Allied Forces?
What does Kelly think about the ‘bringing together’ that Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, etc did with THEIR racist views?
What an absolute embarrassment and tool this putz continues to be. He needs to educate himself, alright.
Winston Churchill is one of my heroes. Good grief, what are these people thinking?? And then ... if they are looking for a perfect person, why don’t they like Jesus?? or God??

The Bengal Famine.

And there is still considerable resentment about India under British rule.
Oh didn’t realize he was the brother of the Gifford’s husband, either way, both Dem loons
This supposed person should be recycled. Maybe he will come back better as a cardboard box.
He helped stop the Holocaust that never happened in the minds of loonie lefties.
Oh the humanity! /s
Kelly is the husband of Gabby Giffords. Enough said.
No kidding! Someone should send him some from planet Druidia, from Mel Brooks' movie "Spaceballs".
