Robert Laurie of CainTV reported that when at a recent AFL-CIO talk given by Ohio Senate candidate Ted Strickland (D) who joked about the death of Scalia and said that it helped the Democrat cause and that it happened at a good time and the audience laughed applauded, and cheered.

“I mean, the death of Scalia saved labor from a terrible decision, “Strickland said as the Democratic supporters cheered and applauded.

Strickland continued and said, “And I don’t wish anyone ill, but it happened at a good time, because once that decision had been made it would have been tough to reverse it.”

After being caught on audio of his comments, Strickland back-stepped and apologized not by him personally, but through a spokesperson and said, “That was an insensitive comment and I apologize.”
