Reza Aslan apologized late Sunday afternoon for using profanity in a tweet about Donald Trump in the wake of the terror attacks in London on Saturday. It’s “not like me,” he says:
I should not have used a profanity to describe the President when responding to his shocking reaction to the #LondonAttacks. My statement: pic.twitter.com/pW69jjpoZy

As we told you earlier, the CNN host called the president a “piece of sh*t”:

But don’t believe Aslan for a second when he says it’s “not like him” to use profanity or respond in a “derogatory” manner. Some examples…
“F*ck those moms” while responding to Paul Ryan on Mother’s Day:
Except of course Syrian moms fleeing war, famine, and genocide with their starving children. Fuck those moms. https://t.co/OnbnczXhtj

“Go f*ck yourself” to Dinesh D’Souza:
Hey Dinesh. I'll say this as politely as I can: Go fuck yourself, you adulterous piece of shit felon. https://t.co/l3r7HD3xhf

Want to try that apology again, eh?
