............He apologized that day, saying he was “caught up in an emotional moment.”

"She just totally makes my mind want to pop out of my ears. I really can't believe she's running for president,” Flowers told the Advocate.

"I'm convinced 30 years ago, she'd been locked up for life,” he added. “I truly believe she has become above the law. That's how far our system has fallen."

............................

"For those of you offended, I truly and sincerely apologize," he said, according to the Advocate. "I'm embarrassed. All I can do is ask your forgiveness."

Flowers said that he had learned his lesson and “will never again have a casual conversation with a reporter.”..................

And there are always death threats, jokes about killing/hanging/shooting a Democrat.

So SPARE me if I do NOT apologize for calling these people fascists.

What an asshole. As much as Democrats dislike Trump, I have yet to hear suggestions of an execution from even the batshit craziest among us.
