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.”

uhhh…...considering the amount of time somebody had to spend editing the clip together, just not credible. Damned funny though.

The team is in Devin Nunes’ district, so she will probably publicly shame him and demand an apology and to resign or whatnot.

Yes it is!
She should be honored that she’s on socialism’s Mount Rushmore!

Tolerant liberals probably would have firebombed their ballpark, if there wasn’t an apology.
