A Democrat could kill 20 people and apologize and get forgiven by the Lame Street Media and the rest of the party.

Carrol O’Connor is dead but Norman Lear isn’t. Why doesn’t the left condemn him for the time Archie Bunker was in Blackface?

I never did blackface but I did steal a bag of balloons from Woolworths when I was in grammar school.
I'm sorry.

He apologized in EXACTLY the way he NEEDED to. I dont agree with it at all, but he did what he had to. Its sad and stupid that it was necessary for him but thats the world we live in.
And by the way, he is not that liberal, probably the most right leaning evening host.
