Rep. Allen West – NO APOLOGY for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

Rep. Allen West dug in his heels after congressional Democrats called on him to apologize for a heated email he sent to the Democratic Party chairwoman, adamantly denying reports that he had already done so.


West claims he was in his right to send fellow Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz an email Tuesday calling her "vile" and "not a lady," in response to her criticism of him on the House floor.

Rep. Allen West speaks at the Faith & Freedom Conference and Strategy Briefing in Washington June 3.

"Don't poke me in the chest, that's the bottom line," he told Fox Business Network on Thursday, adding that an apology is "not happening."

His aides underscored that response following reports and audio tape that seemingly showed him backing off his original comments. In the tape, West could be heard telling a Huffington Post reporter: "I just apologized."

It's unclear what he was referring to -- a West aide immediately shot down claims that he had apologized, calling them "absolutely false." Wasserman Schultz likewise said she had not heard from West.

Apologize for what? Telling the truth> She is just what LTC West said she is and worse! He was too kind. I wonder if someone will look back on her words and actions in the past. I seem to recall her saying some very nasty things about conservatives.

West is a blowhard who hans't come up with a single solid proposal to advance his constituency. It's easier to hurl stones than to do your homework and come up with sound policy.
