(Credit: Robert Pittenger campaign) Republican North Carolina Congressman Robert Pittenger was forced to apologize for controversial comments he made in the wake of days of unrest in Charlotte after a black man was shot to death by police this week. Pittenger explained to BBC News that Wednesday’s violent riots in the North Carolina city following the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott were caused by black residents who were jealous of the success of white people. “The grievance in the [protesters’] mind – the animus, the anger – they hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not,” Pittenger said Thursday.
