Actually I don't care about any of this.
This is how dumb the left-wing is. You claim that freedom of speech is all these different things, and defend people doing the dumbest and most obnoxious actions possible.
But *THIS* here is freedom of speech. You have a politician. He's running for, or in office. Trump spoke out and questioned his origin of birth.
THIS *IS* what freedom of speech is supposed to cover.
So no, he doesn't need to apologize for anything. If he does, fine, if he doesn't fine. If you accept it, or not, doesn't matter to him, or me, or anyone. He used his freedom of speech, and was perfectly right to do so.
So I don't give a crap if you accept an apology or not. You don't matter dude. None of you do.
