It's on the cover of In Touch.  More important than Trump

    He says he's not in a tweet.  Looking at some of his tweets I see possible racist/homophobic remarks.

    (CNN)Blake Shelton is sorry.
    The country star took to Twitter Wednesday to apologize for a series of offensive tweets that have since been deleted from his account.
    "Everyone knows comedy has been a major part of my career and it's always been out there for anyone to see," he tweeted. "That said anyone that knows me also knows I have no tolerance for hate of any kind or form. Can my humor at times be inappropriate and immature? Yes. Hateful? Never. That said I deeply apologize to anybody who may have been offended."

    The tweets in question resurfaced after @MusicFactsTea posted a screenshot of them. One from 2008 read: "Grown men who wear Chuck Taylor's may as well write on their foreheads 'Cucumbers turn me on!!!'"
    One tweet from 2011 said: "Standing in line at a coffee shop in LA talking with the man in front of me. He orders a skinny caramel latte. I couldn't tell he was gay!!!"
    Another from 2011 read: "Wish the d**khead in the next room would either shut up or learn some English so I would at least know what he's planning to bomb.
    Then in 2015 he asked: "Question for my gay followers ... are skittles ya'll's favorite candy?"

    I think he is a drunk.  He is harmless. He has a booze problem big time.
