U.S. astronaut Ryan Kelly apologizes for praising Winston Churchill on Twitter

[Kwon3]

Another liberal 'hero' bites the dust. 

Retired astronaut Scott Kelly felt compelled to apologize for quoting Winston Churchill after some social media users criticized him for endorsing the 'racist' former British Prime Minister.

But he also came under fire for apologizing from critics who accuse Kelly of caving into a Twitter hate mob and point out that Churchill is one of the greatest figures in history and helped defeat the Nazis.

On Sunday, Kelly tweeted: 'One of the greatest leaders of modern times, Sir Winston Churchill said, "in victory, magnanimity." I guess those days are over.'

However, Kelly, who has commanded three International Space Station Expeditions, still felt the need to remove his Tweet and publicly apologize following a deluge of criticism from Churchill's detractors.

The astronaut was mercilessly trolled on Twitter by users who said he needed to 'educate himself' on the man who helped win the Second World War.
'Churchill was a mass murderer and a racist, Scott,' one user tweeted.

Kelly eventually caved and tweeted his apology. In it, he wrote: 'Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support,' Kelly tweeted.

Who?

Vince looked his best here.

Vince looked his best here.

He's been described as a shiny, polished turd in that photo. I've spent a small amount of time trying to find an edgier or funnier description but, no, that's about as succinct and accurate an assessment as possible.

Winston Churchill was indeed a great man.  One of the greatest men of the 20th century.

Kelly is however a wimp.  What a disgrace for him to apologize.

That guy who shot his wife in that mass shooting obviously picked the wrong target.

[calfzilla]

I wish these cookie cutter celebrities would stop apologizing.

This is likely his best form. You can even see the striations in his shoulders.

Churchill was a two fisted drunk and a war criminal.

So was Stalin, but he won. That's all that matters, and liberals don't understand it. It's why they don't understand the Trump movement either.

Indeed, they all were.

[oldtimer1]

This liberal ideology is just getting out of hand. Winston Churchill was a great man.  I really hope liberals never regain power. The destruction to the world will be something that we won't be able to recover from.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Ryan Kelly is the one who killed that girl and threw her in the back of the Jag and burned it up. It's a shame that Titus Craig took the fall for him...

[Fortress]

I don’t think you know what striations are.

That’s one shitty physique. Dreadful.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

That’s one shitty physique. Dreadful.

Yes, that's where hard work and effort comes in.

[Griffith]

Without Churchill, the Axis powers would have won in Europe.

Germany would have invaded Britain and consolidated control of Europe while Italy would have control of North Africa.

Watched the film 'It Happened Here' the other night and it shows a hypothetical situation of England being invaded after Dunkirk. The English would have probably collaborated, despite some resistance.

Europe would have been Fascist and North Africa under European control and the European Empires would not have been abandoned.

Great man, smokes Churchills cigars & drink only the finest scotch.
No more British PM's like Mr.Churchill !.

[SF1900]

I don’t think you know what striations are.

I think I do.

[Elvis_McCartney]

Kelly is one of the biggest pussies out there.  What a goof.  Just shoot yourself Kelly and put us all out of the misery of having to deal with dip shits like you.

Pandering little cuck.

However, the left hate him for PC reasons rather then the legitimate reasons. While I don't agree with everything, Peter Hitchens (brother of Christopher) wrote a good article about him.
