Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) has now issued his own apology for a staff member’s Tweet late last night that joked about James Brown and cocaine addiction as the Republican National Convention was winding down. 

“I didn’t author tweet re James Brown last nite, but I apologize. I’m a JB fan. Also, I would never denigrate anyone in recovery,” Ellison wrote in a Tweet.
