The explanation of what he "meant" to say when he said rural Americans "cling" to religion, has changed more times than a high school girl getting ready for a date.
Here's tonight's explanation and I have to say it really is not much better than the first one. This guy still does not get it! He fumbles and stumbles and ... well ...
Here he claims when Washington (instead of economics) lets down rural America, "politically" (whatever that means) they turn (instead of cling) to religion and vote on guns and yes are bigots but only because politicians exploit their bigotry.
Here's my guess ... that rural America will respond by saying ... no we do not turn to religion and guns because Washington ignores us ... we turn to religion because of a deep abiding faith in God.
