Nope, its what he said and hes backtracking on it.

The backtracking not being 'sorry for saying that, we will not do this anymore'

just 'sorry I said that, I should have said it in a nicer way but we're still going to cut disabled peoples benefits'

Stop sending billions in tax cuts and subsidies to companies. Tell them to just pull themselves up from the bootstraps. Spend the money on disability care.
