MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Dave Hansen has apologized to "anyone offended" by his retweet of a message that included a profane, derogatory reference to Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Hansen said Tuesday he was trying to share a tweet about new limits on political corruption investigations when he inadvertently posted the foul Twitter message that's derogatory to the governor and people with disabilities.
Hansen says it's not the message he wanted to retweet.
WLUK-TV reports Walker said Tuesday in Green Bay had did not see the retweet. Walker said he "rarely pays attention to anything" Hansen says, "so it's hard to comment."
