Chuck Hagel Once Opposed Nominee Because He Was “Openly Aggressively Gay”

What a swell guy!

Slightly more recently:

“My comments 14 years ago in 1998 were insensitive. They do not reflect my views or the totality of my public record, and I apologize to Ambassador Hormel and any LGBT Americans who may question my commitment to their civil rights. I am fully supportive of ‘open service’ and committed to LGBT military families.”

re: #446 blueraven

He never took back that statement or any of the other ones that are being questioned right now. The reason it’s being brought up now is because he’s a finalist for the top Pentagon position. Many politicians have been blasted on here for much less. Why is Hagel getting a pass?

Wrong. You didn’t even search for a retraction, did you.
