While the MSNBC political analyst confessed that he hasn't seen the film in question, he allowed that it was "much more nuanced" than he'd thought and as such he was going to do something "which I've almost never done in politics, I'll apologize to the veterans." Even so, Dean steadfastly refused to apologize to "all those thousands of right-wing nutjobs who have been Twittering me with nasty language" taking him to task for his offending comment regarding American Sniper audiences.
