Morris Hurd, chairman of the board of the Iowa Christian Alliance, has apologized for his statements at an event for Mitt Romney, saying he did not mean to endorse the candidate.

"I would like to apologize to the Iowa Christian Alliance board and to those who support our organization for letting my emotions run away with me at a recent Romney event," Hurd said in a statement released to media outlets. "I did not mean to endorse Mitt Romney and want to make sure that all those who support our organization understand that fact. ... ICA officers are prohibited by board resolution from making endorsements so I wish to make it clear that I have not, nor will endorse any candidate."
