IGN.com news had the following statement posted on their website:
According to Gamepolitics, in a statement issued last week Pitts claims the show misrepresented his words and belabors his stance against video game violence.
"I regret that Comedy Central's 'Daily Show' portrayed my words the way they did. I believe that gratuitously violent video games are inappropriate for all children. However hard it may be to prove their effect in any given instance, tragedies like the killings at Columbine High School and more recent events closer to home clearly show that children from every neighborhood and income level can and do get into trouble -- sometimes quite seriously," he said.
Democrat Lois Herr, who is challenging Pitts in November, agreed with his concerns about video game violence, but called his comments an "embarrassment" and believes that Pitt has "lost touch with his constituency."
