A Washington Nationals minor league affiliate apologized Monday for a Memorial Day tribute video that appeared to show an image of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., between dictators Kim Jong Un and Fidel Castro while former President Ronald Reagan spoke of the “enemies of freedom.”
Fresno Grizzlies team president, Derek Franks, told KSEE-TV playing the video was “truly an oversight.” The team also released a statement apologizing for playing the clip.
“A pre-produced video from outside our front office was selected; unfortunately what was supposed to be a moving tribute ended with some misleading and offensive editing, which made a statement that was not our intent and certainly not our opinion,” the statement read.
“We’re embarrassed we allowed this video to play without seeing it in its entirety first. We unconditionally apologize to Rep. Ocasio Cortez in addition to our fans, community and those we hurt. It was a mistake and we will ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.”

NEVER apologize for telling the truth!
Does not aoc admire Fidel Castro?
I’m sorry she’s so stupid.
liberals link republicans with hitler and other dictators all the time and these liberals NEVER apologize for it- EVER-
Please stop apologizing conservatives- say something that is true, and refuse to apologize- refuse to back down- The left are playing the right like a fiddle because the right always tuck tail and run- the left survive not apologizing- so can we!
I’m offended by Derek’s statement.
Now he needs to apologize to me.
definitely apology warranted. Because we should NEVER criticize or make fun of those who govern us! A sign of a free society is that it respects its rulers!
She does. So she should take this as a grand compliment!
One would think those were her heroes and she’d be pleased.
Chickens.
“We” should do more of this crap.
Kinda like Facebook banning conservatives “by mistake.”
We’re EVER SO SORRY!
Yeah, right.
We should play the fk-em-over, beg forgiveness, snicker ‘cause the truth was told’ game too. Then give each other parachute made-up jobs if we get fired etc.
Barack Obama visited Fidel Castro in Cuba and shed a tear at a Che memorial. Obama’s houston campaign office had several Che flags.
How it this video ‘beyond the pale’?
Democrats are calling Republicans NAZIs.
Their apology was inappropriate and wrong. They’re all socialists, and birds of a feather flock together. There was NOTHING wrong with that video.
Bernie does
They sound like Jimmy Fallon apologizing for messing Trump’s hair.
Lil Kim called and sez AOC is small brained and he’s offended by the depiction
Apologized for WHAT?
