TULSA, Okla.(AP) A spokeswoman for Congressman John Sullivan says the Oklahoma Republican is apologizing for describing critics of his Tulsa Race Riot legislation as -- quote -- "bigots."
Christina Tuff says Sullivan chose to apologize in a letter to the editor that was published in the Sunday Tulsa World because of previous letters the newspaper had published on his comments. Sullivan's apology grew out of reactions to comments he made last month when he introduced a bill to make a memorial to the 1921 riot part of the National Park Service. During an interview on the legislation, the congressman conceded that some people in Tulsa resist that plan and said about them -- quote -- "they are either bigots or they don't understand." The remarks generated a host of letters to the newspaper, prompting Sullivan to issue an apology. Labels: Cong. John Sullivan, Tulsa World Posted at 9:53 AM | |
