AL Gov: Only Christians Are My Brothers

Later says he did not mean to "offend."

Alabama’s new governor, Robert Bentley, proudly called himself “colorblind” on Martin Luther King Day, but it appears he has some other issues: He said that only “saved” Christians are his brothers and sisters while speaking Monday at Martin Luther King’s church. "So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother," Bently said. Bently later apologized for his remarks, saying he did not mean to "offend" anyone from "other religions." He promised to be a governor for everyone, not just Christians.
