TED CRUZ APOLOGISES TO NIGERIANS OVER HIS COMMENT ABOUT NIGERIANS

On Monday Oct. 21st, US Republican Senator Ted Cruz told a rally that Nigerian
email scammers have been hired to run the Obamacare website, a comment that a
lot of Nigerians found offensive. After being bombarded with several phone calls
from Nigerians in Houston and all across the US, the office 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.
