Chuck Edwards: “I do not believe in Federal bailouts because I think that is unfair to the frugal States.”

I am imperfect. I have made mistakes, but I do not believe I committed sexual harassment.

The factual findings of this investigation do not justify branding me as though I did.

I can acknowledge poor judgment, regret the discomfort that some of my actions may have caused, and apologize to those who were hurt by this episode, while still disputing a conclusion that the evidence simply does not support.

I recognize now that my understanding of those relationships may not have always matched yours.
