Lange is sticking to his “I’m a comedian” defense for his disgusting tweets about Cari Champion (you can read them here).
I'm about to tweet a few things I can't believe have to be explained in a rational world. I observed that @CariChampion was a gorgeous lady

I tweeted jokes that in the past I would've said in privately in my home among friends. I know black women who could join me and handle it

Tricky question. I would rather load trucks for a living then ever apologize to one of these awful PC groups ruining the country

So that's a NO. But if it upset the lady in question that's another story. Let me say to @CariChampion if this hurt u in any way I'm sorry

They're now telling me I can't appear on @Midnight tonight cause of the pressure they're getting from these groups.

I've been asked not to appear on @midnight & uve ruined any chance I had at dating @CariChampion (That was a joke). I'm not racist.

@CariChampion they were all jokes. Stupid jokes. Very stupid but jokes. Pls don't let them harm you. If they did I'm sorry

Good for the show Midnight for not having him on, I suggest strongly other shows and networks follow suit.
