11. Claire McCaskill: 'I Have Apologized' to the Clintons for 'Gratuitous and Hurtful' Remark

When people apologize, it is time to drop it and use it against Hillary. I am sure the RW will continue to use it but Democrats should let it die.

ABC News' Betsy Klein reports:

On the eve of her 60th birthday, Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill said that she has officially buried the hatchet with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

McCaskill, who recently signed on to an effort to encourage Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2016, acknowledged that she was wrong to say in a 2006 "Meet the Press" appearance that "I don't want my daughter near" Bill Clinton.

"I said a lot of things in the last 30 years that I'm not particularly proud of. I mean there have been things that I've said that I wish I could take back," McCaskill said at an event in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night sponsored by BuzzFeed. "It was gratuitous and hurtful and I have apologized to both President Clinton and Hillary Clinton for saying it."...............
