Oklahoma Congressman Apologizes For 'Killing Senators' Remark

Oklahoma Congressman John Sullivan is apologizing for comments he made at a Bixby town hall meeting Wednesday night.

At that meeting Sullivan said he would have to personally shoot members of the U.S. Senate to get them to pass their budget.

The blog site Talking Points Memo released an audio recording from the meeting that contains the remark.

Thursday, Sullivan's spokesman Vaughn Jennings apologized for the congressman's poor choice of words.

"The Congressman offers his sincere apologies to anyone he offended and for using a poor choice of words to make his point - which was that Senate Democrats are refusing to pass a budget or even vote on the 28 House passed jobs bills. Millions of American's are hurting – the Congressman feels their pain, and does not want his comments to deflect attention away the serious issues our country faces today, and he certainly does not condone any form of violence as a means to fix what is broken in Washington."
