CNN's Reza Aslan apologized for his choice of words when tweeting out criticism of President Trump.
Here's the tweet Aslan eventually deleted:
This piece of shit is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He's an embarrassment to humankind. https://t.co/Dl5tMQMhMO

Sunday, he issued the following statement:
I should not have used a profanity to describe the President when responding to his shocking reaction to the #LondonAttacks. My statement: pic.twitter.com/pW69jjpoZy

Twitchy Team points out that it is very much like Aslan to use profanity.
Reza Aslan apologizes, saying it’s ‘not like me’ to use profanity. He’s lying and these tweets to prove it ==> https://t.co/9Dtp9833WE

I was surprised when I saw the list of tweets Twitchy Team assembled.
In his statement, Aslan said, "I lost my cool and responded to him in a derogatory fashion. That's not like me."
His tweets reveal he routinely loses his cool and responds in a derogatory fashion.
To Paul Ryan:
Except of course Syrian moms fleeing war, famine, and genocide with their starving children. Fuck those moms. https://t.co/OnbnczXhtj

Right now a "shit sandwich" is the best any of us can hope for from the #FakePresident https://t.co/TxrRFkrg2W

Why would Aslan say it was unlike him to use profanity and lose his cool and speak in such a derogatory fashion when that tweet was clearly not an aberration?
CNN's Reza Aslan owes many more apologies.
