New Hampshire state Sen. Andy Sanborn (R) apologized Tuesday for comparing Obamacare to the San Francisco plane crash that killed two and injured dozens of passengers, WMUR reported.
Sanborn guest-hosted a radio show Tuesday afternoon on radio station WTPL, where he discussed the Affordable Care Act with a former Republican legislator. Sanborn said Obamacare is “barreling down on us like a jet landing in San Francisco. It’s (laughter) it should make people really concerned,” according to WMUR.
Sanborn, who could make a run for governor next year, told WMUR that he didn’t remember making the comment, but apologized after listening to the audio.
“It was my mistake,” he said, as quoted by WMUR. “If I offended anyone I am sorry.”
