MA Senate: Brown forced to apologize for lying about Warren TV ad

US Senator Scott Brown on Wednesday night issued an apology for earlier saying that his opponent, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, had paid actors to appear as victims of asbestos-related illnesses in television advertisements defending her role in a lawsuit that has become a key issue in the campaign.

Two of the victims, speaking through the Warren campaign, said that was not the case.

“It was wrong for me to have jumped to those conclusions and I apologize to those I offended,” Brown said in a statement.

Unlike Tommy Thompson's son, who has yet to make a public apology for talking about sending Obama back to Chicago ... or Kenya.
