A former GOP campaign operative in Nebraska apologized for what he acknowledged were thousands of anti-LGBTQ and anti-Semitic posts he made online in a forum last year.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that a former field director for the Nebraska Republican party, Bennett Bressman, acknowledged his online profile was the source of more than 3,000 posts.

"Yes, that was my profile," said Bressman told the local news outlet Monday "I'm not denying it. I understand how they look really bad and are really bad on their face. I regret what I said."

Posts published by the local news outlet written by Bressman include “gays are the scum of the earth” and "i wanted a crater in israel not israel on a crater."

2. Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner!

Certainly does not help their cause as the P(OS)resident is crowing about the democratic party being the anti-Semitic one.

From the article:
---------------
For his part, Bressman said the white nationalist and neo-Nazi chatroom was "something I stumbled into and stuck around in" before having a change of heart. He said he closed the account several days before his identity was revealed on the Nebraska Antifa blog.

"It makes me sick to my stomach to go back and read," he said Monday. "There's a big disconnect between those words and who I am. I am disgusted by them and a lot of what I said is sick and twisted."

Gee, ya think? Really, he just 'stumbled' over there, posted over 3000 times, and are just now coming to the realization that these people are sick and twisted? Scurry, little cockroaches! The light is coming on!

4. No way he's sorry.

Anyone who says such things, esp OVER 3,000 TIMES!, has deep feelings about those things. Deep feelings rarely change.
