Lawmaker backpedals on apology – Florida
Tagged: FloridaPosted on: April 17th, 2007“Rep. Don Brown on Monday qualified the apology he made last week for e-mailing a cartoon poking fun at illegal immigrants, and asked for a state investigation to determine if they are a burden to Florida’s taxpayers.
The DeFuniak Springs Republican said at a news conference his apology may have been misconstrued. Brown said he intended to apologize only for offending some of the lawmakers who received his e-mail – not for its message or use of the term “illegal aliens,” which some consider derogatory.”
