SE Cupp sent a Tweet apologizing for her Slander as well.

She can die in a fire, too.

Dear editors of the National Review,

Too little, too late. You need to reflect on why you would ever ally or enable the racist, regressive fascists that are destroying America. Then after you figure that out you should probably think seriously about ending your worthless, wormy lives.

I agree they should pursue the Japanese method of recovering honor: wakizashi to the bowels, with a second ready to cut their head off should they try to back out at the last minute.

“Piling on” means “somebody else hit them first”. That’s an excuse an eight year old would use, and it doesn’t make it any better. The apology might.

Their apology has nothing to do with NRO honestly wanting to right their wrong ! It's only about arrogant dishonest swamp critters covering their elitist @$$es:

I tell you who needs to apologize.....the Democrat Party.

And they need to apologize to the Indians.

Look at what decades of Liberal coddling has produced.

The Liberals feel good about themselves as they throw some scraps to the Indians so the Indians will each vote five times in an election for a Democrat candidate.

I don’t want the Indians living on Reservations.

I want them living next door to me where are kids can play together and we can have some lemonade and talk about our jobs.

I want them to enjoy the fullness of life that being an American can bring.

I don’t want them begging for scraps from Democrats.

Retract the article, issue a written apology plus ten million in lieu of lawsuit settlement.

More UNIPARTY “conservatism” at work...

It was OBVIOUS from the narrative was not backed up by even the small video that was initially available...

NO ONE, WITH MORE THAN 1 NUERON WORKING should have repeated the initial claims with nothing more than that video.

Video of a man beating a drum in a child’s face does not in ANY way, in and of itself support the stupid claims initially made!

NRO, and the Left Wing Idiots, ALL jumped on hit because they had a predetermined bias and narrative they could shove this into... the facts didn’t matter... it fit the NRO’s Never Trump biases... and the Left’s, everyone white person, particularly from Trump country, and all Trump Supporters are ignorant privileged racists.

You are despicable... NRO... There is NO difference between you, and the Young Turks etc... Same sad sack of excrement, trying to manipulate not inform.

Screw you,.

Unless I am mistaken, nowhere do they say they were WRONG. Only that they were guilty of “piling on”.

The editor Frankovich was referenced in the article, but it was a group apology. Has this POS issued a personal apology or is he hiding behind the group apology?

Their apology was convoluted and self-forgiving. Their initial knee-jerk reaction — that the kid’s “spit on the cross” — is what they truly believe. They are in the Beltway Bubble just like the MSM reporters. They don’t have much stomach to fight liberals. They view their role as policing conservatives.
