I guess she can apologize now

Poor Sally Kern:

"I see no reason to apologize for what God says, that homosexuality is a sin," Rep. Kern told the AP. "I will not apologize. I did not say anything false. I did not say anything malicious or hateful. They are trying to vilify me. That is their tactics."

Kern declined to meet with the groups, the AP reported, though she defended their right to express their point of view. "That's great they came to the Capitol. This is a free country. They're exercising their First Amendment right," she said.

Kern noted that more than 30,000 emails had been sent to her, some of them threatening, and said an activist had attempted to intimidate her husband who is a Baptist minister.

"They're sending out letters and making calls in my district. And they really want me to come down and talk to them?" Kern said. "It would be like throwing myself to the lions. That's a metaphor. When I am wrong, and it is brought to my attention, I will apologize."

Sweetie, that's actually a simile. Now, apologize!
