Palin Apologizes for “Pro-America” Comments

HeadlineOct 22, 2008

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has apologized for suggesting some parts of the United States are more “pro-America” than others. At a rally in North Carolina last week, Palin praised Republican towns as “the real America” and the “pro-America areas of this great nation.” Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the campaign of Democratic congressional nominee Elwyn Tinklenberg says he’s now raised more than one million dollars over the past four days in the aftermath of controversial comments from his opponent, incumbent Republican Congress member Michele Bachmann. Last week, Bachmann said the media should launch an investigation to determine who in Congress is pro-American or anti-American.
