President Trump showed himself a jerk by trying to politicize a Boy Scout jamboree.
Quote:CNN : Boy Scouts chief apologizes after Trump speech.
Michael Surbaugh, the Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts, just wrote a letter apologizing for the political rhetoric of Trump's speech at Monday's Jamboree.
"I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent," he wrote.
Surbaugh also added that for those at home, the work of the Jamboree this week was "overshadowed" by Trump's remarks.
