The woman who socked a pro-life reporter in the face during a filmed interview offered an apology Saturday — but claimed her “antagonistic” victim goaded her into violence.

Brianna Rivers, of the Bronx, admitted she was wrong for slugging Savannah Craven Antao, a reporter for pro-life advocacy group Live Action.

“To Savannah, I sincerely apologize but cannot sit around and allow you to continue pushing this one sided narrative. I understand hands being put on someone is never the answer, but throwing rocks and hiding hands is worse,” Rivers wrote in a Facebook post.

“She knows the truth and she needs to release the footage in its entirety. Savannah is a professional antagonist not a ‘reporter’ and the truth will be told.”

Rivers shared a note accusing Craven Antao of intentionally antagonizing her during their man-on-the-street interview in Harlem, in which Craven Antao repeatedly cut the pro-choice Rivers off while she spoke.

Rivers also accused Craven Antao of editing the footage to remove what she called “relentless antagonization” and the moments leading up to the sucker punch.

Ever notice, the “left” always have an excuse? It’s never their fault. They “misspeak” a lot as well. All these jackasses seem to think they can talk their way out of it.

Classical liberal: I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Modern liberal: I disapprove of what you say, so I will shout you down. I might even attack you.

I actually don’t think there are any classical liberals left.

“I sincerely apologize but cannot sit around and allow you to continue pushing this one sided narrative.”

So, basically this half-witted cow is saying, “You can’t say something I don’t approve of...”

These people are unhinged... but of course. Water is also wet. I know I’m just stating the obvious, but it’s just infuriating.

Sounds like she could be provoked out of violence too. Just saying.

One of the essentials of the Left is the lack of personal responsibility. In their philosophy, individuals do not count, only groups count, and their actions are determined by historical pressures.

The only people who bear any responsibility are those who the Leftists say stand in the way of “progress”, even if those individuals actually did not choose to do anything against the “progress”.

no - as dennis Prager has said for a while, there is a big difference between liberalism and Leftie-ism. to call today’s Dems - outside of maybe Fetterman Dean Phhillips - liberals is wrong. they are Lefties.

WRONG !!! WRONG !!! WRONG !!!

The Proper response is:

1) I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE !!!

2) I want to Speak with My Lawyer.

3) Ask for EMS Paramedics, “I’m having trouble breathing and need Oxygen.”

4) Zipper and Super Glue on the lips until Lawyer is with You

Has there been an arrest? . . .

The abortion-worshipper would have no defense at all.

(Verbal or physical threat? No. In reasonable fear of physical harm for some other reason? No. . .)

The psycho would get jail, and the pro-life one would get some money.

Yeah, I sometimes have a problem finding a proper label for today’s leftists.

“Liberal” is my usual go-to word simply because it’s the antonym of “conservative”. But sometimes “progressive” fits. And sometimes “neo-fascist” fits too.

The most damaging blow was with her phone, which makes it assault with a weapon. Put her jail.

That black girl is criminally unstable. Funny, I would feel the same about her if I hadnt seen her lash out in public. Why she pounding that other black woman? Stupid hair cut and color. Pouty fish lips that makes her look like her next baby daddy done punched her in the face. Oh yeah. SHE IS FAT and UGLY too. How either one of these contributes to blacks being discriminated against? Yeah, she ugly!

“Liberal” is my usual go-to word

It's an outdated term unless you're using it to describe John Fetterman, Joe Manchin or Krysten Sinema.

Either "Leftist" or Progressive" is more suitable to describe a typical Democrat today.
