APOLOGY ANGST: Vicente Fox said on Wednesday that he was sorry for his curse-laden insistence weeks ago that he would never 'pay for a f***ing wall' proposed by Donald Trump between his country and the U.S.
Fox, who led America's southern neighbor from 2000 to 2006, challenged Trump to accept his remorse.
'I apologize,' he said. 'Forgiveness is one of the greatest qualities that human beings have, is the quality of a compassionate leader. You have to be humble. You have to be compassionate. You have to love thy neighbor. Love your nation. Love the world.'
Trump has said in recent weeks that as his presidential candidacy began to look inevitable, many of his former Republican detractors have made fence-mending overtures.
Fox's came with an appended request, however.
'What about the other way around? I don’t think he should follow the strategy of attacking others, offending others, to get to his purpose,' he told Breitbart. 'There are other ways and means of doing it. I invite him to come to Mexico and to see what Mexico is all about.'
Hours later on Bill O'Reilly's Fox News Channel program, Fox reiterated his call for Trump to 'come to Mexico and learn about the real Mexico.'
Fox had previously hammered Trump as a 'false prophet' and a 'looser' on Twitter, and proclaimed that he wasn't welcome in the ocean resort town of Cancun.
