When will people stop hiding behind politics to verbally abuse their opponent? In Ghana our young democracy has freely given people to insult and cast insinuations at a sitting president.
When we thought these uncultured behavior is only limited to Ghana, report from America indicates that an ally to boisterous president elect, has called First Lady Michelle Obama a Gorilla. The man’s name is Carl Paladino and he happens to be the New York co-chair for the Donald Trump campaign.
He didn’t end there. He also pronounced death on President Barack Obama, saying he wishes he dies dies from mad cow disease in 2017. That sound totally bizarre isn’t it. In sudden twist, he issued an unqualified apology in the shape of a letter thus:
I did not mean to send those answers to Artvoice,” Paladino wrote in his Tuesday (Dec. 28) apology. “Not that it makes any difference because what I wrote was inappropriate under any circumstance. I filled out the survey to send to a couple friends and forwarded it to them not realizing that I didn’t hit ‘forward’ I hit ‘reply.’ All men make mistakes.
“Those survey questions provided me with the spark to vent and write deprecating humor about a bad President for whom the main stream media continues to seek an undeserved legacy,” he wrote. “I wanted to say something as sarcastic and hurtful as possible about the people who are totally responsible for the hurt and suffering of so many others. I was wired up, primed to be human and I made a mistake. I could not have made a worse choice in the words I used to express my feelings.”
It’s obvious from his apology letter that he still has resentment for the president making his entire apology fake.
