John Cena Shows ‘Gutlessness’ In Apology To China, Critics Say
Movie star and pro wrestler John Cena was taken to the mat by critics Tuesday for apologizing to China after he called Taiwan a country in an interview.
Cena told Taiwanese media that Taiwan would be the first “country” to be able to see his new “Fast and Furious” film “F9,” prompting backlash in China, which considers the self-ruled democratic island nation its own territory, The Associated Press reported. China often takes suggestions of Taiwan independence as an insult.
“In one interview, I made a mistake,” Cena said in Mandarin in a video posted Tuesday to Chinese social media, per AP. “I need to say now that this is very, very, very, very, very important. I love and respect China and the Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry. As for my mistake, I really apologize for it.”

I did so in the last election. My horses lost badly. Oh well.
Meanwhile, you've been whining for months because the Democrats refuse to do some particularly stupid things (the latest appears to be the "public option is off the table" quote from Pelosi). I think you exhibit a more serious class of failure that you need to accept your part in, since it's all your failure, not just some hypothetical failure that all voters share equal, meaningless blame in.
