DENVER (AP) — A Pueblo County commission candidate said an article posted on Facebook saying the Newtown shootings were a hoax said his remarks were misunderstood.
The Denver Post reported Saturday (http://dpo.st/1xZEnTX ) that Tom Ready apologized for hurting those affected by the December 2012 shootings in the Connecticut city that killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school.
The article posted by Ready claimed the shootings were a hoax intended to drum up support for tougher gun control laws. Ready told the Post he simply “pushed a button” to link the article to his page to encourage discussion.
Ready said he didn’t do a good job Wednesday during a debate where he defended posting the article.
Ready’s remarks went viral on the Internet.

lying weasel. he just wanted to promote discussion. right.
“I’m sorry if anyone was offended by my totally honest intellectual request to TEaCh tEh CONtrOveRSy…”
Bull hockey!!!
“A Pueblo County commission candidate said an article posted on
Facebook saying the Newtown shootings were a hoax said his
remarks were misunderstood.”
Yet at the same time he says “…he didn’t do a good job
Wednesday during a debate where he defended posting
the article” [emphasis mine].
This is another GOP non apology as in “I’m sorry if I offended
anyone.” He apologized “for hurting those affected…”
I won’t believe he means it until he swears on the Bible that he
does truly believe it happened.
Misunderstood? I don’t think so. Ready said very clearly that the killings never happened and questioned them because of one parents emotional changes when entering a meeting about the tragedy. These words are very clear to me and I haven’t misunderstood them.
The man is delusional and should not be allowed near any position of responsibility.
I saw his remarks and he very CLEARLY SAID THE KILLINGS DID NOT HAPPEN.
I have a hard time being tolerant of idiots like this.
