Gruber apologized for his newly-resurfaced 2013 remarks Thursday, telling MSNBC's Ronan Farrow that they had been an “off-the-cuff” mistake, an attempt to lay out the way political calculations affected the law as it was being written.
“The comments in the video were made at an academic conference,” Gruber said. “I was speaking off the cuff and I basically spoke inappropriately and I regret having made those comments.”

Farrow suggested to Gruber that the underlying point of his remarks was actually “nuanced” and was intended to illustrate that in order to effectively pass Obamacare into law, the process needed to be “opaque.”
Gruber replied that he was trying to convey that laws that center on federal spending aren’t popular.

This is the same old tactic we've seen a hundred times. Quick, tell people they didn't hear what they thought they heard you say many times. Tell them they heard wrong, or you misspoke. When new talking points come out, you're supposed to forget the old ones as if they were never uttered. After all, that is what stupid people do.
Many of us were not stupid enough to believe him then and we don't believe him now. Just like before, he is only addressing the truly stupid people who believe anything that other liberals tell them.
