For Deborah Lipstadt to apologize now to Senator Ron Johnson after so many months should be taken as insincere. It's just saying words to get out of a situation.

[@gdaddy5193]

"I'm sorry"!? Gee ... after millions of people buy into what she said ... She says "I'm sorry"? And then asks us to accept that she's "unbiased"? these nominations and appointees have been hand picked because they will follow the party line and rubber stamp this administrations will.

[@Rose_333_Buds]

Looking at her and her biography, she'd be dictating the administration's policy not rubber-stamping it.

Another good reason to stop these nominations until afternoon November elections

Lmao he literally said “you don’t know me” ☠️. This was gold. I’ve watched so many of these videos & nobody ever learns. It’s not WHAT these people said or did that makes them look awful, it’s how they a) try to pretend it never happened and b) respond to evidence that it definitely did happen. “I’m sorry if you TOOK it that way” is the epitome of a “your fault, not mine” nonpology.

[@Rose_333_Buds]

I didn't hear her apologize. Did she? Love Sen. Johnson, he is such an honest and objective man.

[@ISpitHotFiyaa]

@@Rose_333_Buds She really didn't. She apologized for it being taken politically or whatever but she didn't apologize for what she said. And it's not a political thing. She made a baseless charge that harmed his reputation. That's slander. If you go around calling people white nationalists then you'd better have clear and indisputable evidence to back that up

She's about as sorry as a snake eating a mouse - this women is the epitome of "a liar, racist, and a "Democrat Extremist" -&- throwing Her Blame on the Victim. Equivalent to a rapist blaming the victim, or a pedophile saying it's the baby/childs fault, bcuz he's a sick sob! Just another Typical & STANDARD policy within this whole WH Admin & their Political Party. #101 - if a Democrat accuses, they've already been doing it! #102 - IF Democrat 'accuses with descriptions - they are always describing themselves! (all one has to do, is listen to them, they expose themselves.) #103 is the next step, "throwing the blame & twist the words - bcuz they are caught red handed". #1 Pelosi is an expert on all three! Or so 'she' thinks, she's as easy to see thru, as her water glass, of pure Vodka, on her Podium - as she desperately & repeatedly sips from 'while lying through her false teeth" - teeth can't even stay in her mouth, bcuz even 'they' know she's lying so much, they can't keep up!

Killary perfected that tactic. She would say, "I'm sorry you're so stupid, that you didn't understand me."

@@nancyduncan6101 And what exactly is a "living wage"? Cause according to the left, it should be 15-20 an hour with no skill or need to do any kind of education.... oh, and let's not forget that when you increase the minimum wage, the cost of living goes up, so instead of making $10/hour and poor, we'll be making $20/hour and poor. People can't seem to grasp that "entry level jobs" are not meant to be a sustainable living wage; they're meant to get your feet wet and build a resume. I'm so sick and tired of these lazy millennials expecting to flip burgers at McDonald's and make the same as people that went to college or trade school for a craft. If you're disabled and can't legitimately work, fine. You're the exception. But if you're some lazy ass high school kid that doesn't want to go to college and become a productive member of society. don't expect to get much.. You're paid what you want to contribute. Sorry not sorry, but that's the reality.

Source Wikipedia@ Lipstadt was born in New York City to a Jewish family, the daughter of Miriam (née Peiman; 1915-2013) and Erwin Lipstadt (1903-1972).[8] Her mother was born in Canada, and her father, a salesman, was born in Germany. Her parents met at their neighborhood synagogue. She has an older sister, Helene, a historian, and a younger brother, Nathaniel, an investor on Wall Street.
