The country star took to Twitter Wednesday to apologize for a series of offensive tweets that have since been deleted from his account. "Everyone knows comedy has been a major part of my career and it's always been out there for anyone to see," he tweeted. "That said anyone that knows me also knows I have no tolerance for hate of any kind or form. The tweets in question resurfaced after @MusicFactsTea posted a screenshot of them. One from 2008 read: "Grown men who wear Chuck Taylor's may as well write on their foreheads 'Cucumbers turn me on!!!'"
