AIPAC apologizes for Trump, crowd reaction

Get used to apologizing for Trump GOP.

AIPAC condemns Trump attack on Obama



The American Israel Public Affairs Committee apologized to President Obama Tuesday for Donald Trump and some attendees cheering the end of his presidency at the group's policy conference.

"While we may have policy differences, we deeply respect the office of the president of the United States and our President Barack Obama," Lillian Pinkus, the newly installed president of AIPAC, saidTuesday, joined by the committee's other lay and professional leaders.

While critiquing Obama' foreign policy initiatives during the conference Monday night, Trump began "With President Obama in his final year ... Yay!" and earned tremendous applause from the 18,000-person crowd at the event in Washington, D.C.

"There are people in our AIPAC family who were deeply hurt last night and for that we are deeply sorry," Pinkus said, her voice choking. "We are deeply disappointed that so many people applauded a sentiment that we neither agree with or condone."

She went on to insist that AIPAC does not "countenance ad hominem attacks" and takes "great offense at those that are levied against the president of the United States of America from our stage."

All primary candidates were invited to speak to the conference in Washington, D.C. Trump spoke along with candidates Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders was the only major presidential candidate not to attend.

 

They are correct, the probably were some who were hurt. On the other hand;

 

BTW, Obama IS in his final year. YAY!!!

 

And Hillary is about to start her 8 years. Yay!!!!!

 

So, you're supporting Hillary over Bernie?

 

The coward asked....

 

Are you too cowardly to respond? You've stated previously that you support either Bernie or Hillary. I'm supporting either Trump or Cruz. Have you finally settled on Hillary?

 

The coward asked and the brave refused to answer? I really think you have that bassackwards!

 

And the other coward parrot is heard from.

 

So far clueless is notably absent!

 

If I was Donald Trump, I would not appreciate anyone apologizing for me. How condescending! Shame! He's a grown man. If he offends some with his words, well, too bad for him, but he's a big boy. That's my unsolicited opinion.

 

If you were Donald Trump, you wouldn't know how to apologize. People with egos the size of Trump's don't apologize because they are never wrong. He is a sociopath.

 

Lillian Pinkus has class. She shows respect for others.

It's good to see someone in her position go against the tide of Obama-haters.

 

So the coward is still afraid to answer!

 

Nothing wrong with having an ego. No doubt anyone running for president has an ego. Hillary probably has a bigger... ummm... ego... than her husband. What's your point?

Oh... and if you "think" Trump is a sociopath, that's just your useless opinion. Unless you can psychoanalyze him (and have the credentials to back it up) through the Internet and TV, you're just talking out of your ass once again. You can't analyze him, can you? No, I didn't think so.

 

So this is what 2nd grade was like.

Huh...spent most of that in hospitals, myself. I see I didn't miss anything important.

 

You like to keep repeating that you were in a hospital when you were young, but you don't elaborate. Was it a mental hospital? I mean, you talk about travelling through time and meeting your future self/past self or whatever the hell it is you spout about, so I'm just curious.

 

I have elaborated. You simply chose to ignore it.

For newbies, my introduction to hockey was getting struck in the face by a stick. I spent five months in Ann Arbor, where they studied the injury but did nothing else. I formed a tricycle "gang" there, in order to allow the other children a chance to play. Afterwards, I was sent off to Portage View, in Hancock, Michigan where I spent the remaining two months in solitude. That is what healthcare was like for children who were poor in the 1970's, in Michigan.

Of course, none of this means anything to COKC, aside from the opportunity to scrutinize what I've said in order to find some way to use it against me, in a malicious way.

 

How interesting considering you have never used the word "hockey" previously on this forum
