Texas Speaker Gives Vague Apology for ‘Hurtful’ Things Said

The Texas Speaker of the House has made a vague apology to legislators Tuesday for “embarrassing” and “hurtful” things he said on a secretly-recorded conversation with a hardline conservative activist. First-term Speaker Dennis Bonnen didn’t address anything specific that he said and did not mention an alleged “hit list” of Republican lawmakers to target in the upcoming 2020 primary.
