US Senator Ted Cruz apologizes for offensive remark about Nigerians
Nigerian email scammers have been hired to run the Obamacare website,
a commentthat a lot of Nigerians found offensive. After being
bombarded with several phone calls from Nigerians in Houston and all
across the US, theoffice of Ted Cruz has issued a statement from the
Senator apologizing for what he said.
The full statement reads:
It's unfortunate that we're living in a time where just about every
joke can be misconstrued to cause offense to someone.
To the good people of Nigeria - a beautiful nation where my wife lived
briefly as the child of missionaries - no offense was intended.
I am fully appreciative of the range of mutual economic and security
interests that make Nigeria an important friend to the United States.
And even to those few unscrupulous email scammers who were the subject
of the joke, I apologize to you for the unfair comparison to the
utterly dysfunctional Obamacare website.
