The New York Times reporter who called Melania Trump a hooker at a private event on Sunday has apologized, saying he wants to take ownership of a mistake he made.
Jacob Bernstein, the son of Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein and the late writer-director Nora Ephron, came forward on Tuesday to identify himself as the journalist who repeated what he called unfounded rumors about the first lady in a conversation with model-actress Emily Ratajkowski.
Speaking at a party in what I thought was a personal conversation, I nevertheless made a stupid remark about the first lady, he wrote in a series of tweets. My editors have made it clear my behavior was not in keeping with the standards of the Times, and I agree.

You know, at least Woodward is honest about hos political critique, and will give it to both sides.
Bernstein is just a leftie tool.
Awwww...he said he was sowwweeeyyy!
It’s not like he is a conservative!
Oh this is RICH......he was told his comment wasn’t in keeping with the standards of the Slimes? He’s exactly where he needs to be......the NYT HAS NO STANDARDS!!!!! If they had any standards the little turd would be out on the street!
Ewwww......now I know why some mothers eat their young
Yeah, but nothing else will happen. This is a resume enhancement, and the creep will get a promotion.
I like Jabob. It fits the little scmendrick.

Frankly, any media that employs this jerk should be excluded from the WH briefing room, forever, period.
Give him the Billy Bush penalty.

I doubt the punk could have got a job with a high school news paper w/o his daddy’s name. That’s why the Slimes hired him.
I read the article, but I missed the part where he apologizes to Melania and her family.
Jacob should have his little azz kicked. Bad. A busted lip, few broken ribs, a swift kick in the jewels with a pair of steel tip work boots, shattered kneecap and a branded forehead reading: “I am a jerk.”
“As long as he calls it a mistake, hes not really apologizing”
Correct, and he didn’t express any doubt that his claim was true.
He's supposed to be some kind of reporter -- a second or third generation reporter -- and he thinks there's such a thing as a private conversation?
His movie about his mother is called "Everything is Copy," based on what his grandmother told his mother "You're a reporter, Nora, take notes. Everything is copy," and he thinks what he says isn't going to end up on the Internet?
Jacob is a very messed up guy from a very messed up family.
FWIW I notice some of the media are referring to this as a rumor, rather than an insult. Sounds like a way of keeping the rumor/fake news alive.
He thought she was someone else? He didn't know what the word "hooker" meant?
Keep praying everyone. . . that the Lord will expose the enemy and relieve them of their positions of influence.
The image came from Stephen Colbert's Late Show. The NYT liked it enough to disseminate it.

She has to be the most beautiful first lady this country has seen, and yet the media attack her, while praising obama;s wife who was hardly classy, or beautiful, and who involved herself in politics.
Did Woodward and Bernstein call John Dean’s wife a hooker? G. Gordon Liddy did.
They can't join her soon enough in hack-writer hell.
