Alvin Bamberger, one of the men seen shouting and shoving Shiya Nwanguma at a Louisville, Kentucky, Donald Trump rally, publicly apologized for his actions.
Caught on camera repeatedly shoving and harassing a young black woman at a Donald Trump rally, Alvin (Al) Bamberger, a 75-year-old veteran, has now issued a public apology.In it, he states, in part, “I physically pushed a young woman down the aisle toward the exit, an action I sincerely regret. I have embarrassed myself, my family, and Veterans.
This was a very unfortunate incident and it is my sincere hope that I can be forgiven for my actions.”
He goes on to basically blame the eclectic mix of white supremacists, Donald Trump himself, and the protesters for his sustained berating of Shiya Nwanguma, the young University of Louisville student.
"Caught between a group of white supremacists and Black Lives Matter protestors contributed to my behavior, however there is no excuse for my actions," he continued.
While these words and the apology may be sincere, Bamberger apparently has not seen all of the videos of his complete and utter foolishness

A man wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat — thought to be Matthew Heimbach, a leader of the Traditionalist Worker Party — can be seen near a protester at the Trump rally in Louisville.
In fact, Shiya Nwanguma was a peaceful protester and filmed Bamberger, randomly yelling in her face that she was not welcome there, followed by a stammering of "all lives matter."This man knew full well what he was doing when he yelled in her face then continually pushed and shoved her through the crowd — allowing other men, including white supremacist Matthew Heimbach, to randomly yell and violently shove her along the way. Not once did he appear to be even remotely concerned with her safety or well-being in the process.
While the Korean War Association insists he was not there representing them, he indeed wore a uniform from the organization with his name on it — which is what allowed him to be identified in the first place.
