King doubles down...

Gayle tells TMZ

"I was in no way saying drunk driving is OK, and I also made that clear. But nobody picked up on the rest of the sentence." 

"I don't consider him reckless or irresponsible. Was that a bad thing? Did he make a huge mistake? Yes, and I think he acknowledged that."

"But we're always so quick to cancel and criticize anytime someone makes a big mistake and I'm just sort of tired of that."
