Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham apologized for his personal scandal during his first public appearance since a California woman said she had an affair with him and sexual text messages between the two were published.
"I am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused in my personal life and I also apologize to all of you," Cunningham said Wednesday night. "I hope all of you watching at home will accept this sincere apology and that we will continue to work together to change the direction of our country and strengthen our state."
He delivered the comments during a live-streamed event held by the North Carolina League of Conservation Voters _ the 2020 Green Tie Awards.
