Georgia ‘Deportation Bus’ Candidate Apologizes For Campaign

A former Georgia gubernatorial candidate who campaigned in a “deportation bus” and later pleaded guilty to falsely reporting that computer servers were stolen from his office is apologizing for his chaotic and combative campaign.

“I want to apologize for any embarrassment or hurt that your support of me has caused,” Republican ex-state Sen. Michael Williams wrote in a Tuesday morning Facebook post to supporters.

The post seemed to lay much of the blame for missteps on unnamed campaign advisers, writing that he was led astray by “pride, ego and bad advice.”
