RICHMOND ...Its just not in my heart to be racist or bigoted, Roanoke Mayor David Bowers (D)
said, according to Roanoke TV station WDBJ. I apologize to all of those offended by my remarks.
No one else is to blame, but me.

An apology is nice, but a resignation is the only acceptable option.
Once you've stated, publicly, that you endorse the idea of building internment camps
and rounding up citizens based on race,religion, national origin, or sexual orientation,
your political life is over, effective immediately.
