Just a moment...

I adhere to Bob the Drag Queen Thought on these matters: You insult me publicly, you apologize to me publicly.

if people had known how racist she was in 2020 she might have gotten further in the democratic primary for president
- Shit I think you’re right.
  She also guilefully robbed us of Al Franken. She sucks.
  
  Oh damn that was her? How are you going to get rid of Al Franken for doing air boobs and then support Cuomo. Like they were definitely in bad taste, no argument here, but the other man has been credibly accused by like a dozen women.
- Gillebrand's Live Reaction accepting the 2028 Dem primary nomination. You're not gonna believe the campaign slogan she ran on. Karl Rove and Steve Bannon got human centipeded to be her campaign manager.
The saying "may your apology be as loud as the disrespect " never gets followed by these politicians
Even if she apologized publicly I wouldn't accept it, she's still a nazi
he was repeatedly attacked for his anti-Israel positions, such as saying the country was committing “genocide” in Gaza.
“genocide”
Dumb fucking klanner
It’s too late to not be in the ‘FEDERAL NEW YORK SENATOR ACCUSES FUTURE NEW YORK CITY MAYOR, AND FELLOW DEMOCRAT, OF GLOBAL JIHAD’ headline
What a way to fuck up
apology is one thing but making amends is another
You've show the liberals you're against their class interests multiple times. You let slip with some nasty shit and signal to the racists what's you are all about, and then walk THAT back.
Can't be consistently lib. Can't be consistently racist. Absolutely spineless all around.
- Libs are racist though. So they are being consistent. Their constituents don’t give a fuck if they’re being a little racist, it’s who they are.
Tie yourself to a missile and ferociously lobby for it to be fired at Tel-Aviv, maybe then that apology would carry something resembling sincerity
Still a supporter of a genocide against the people you insulted and the ethnostate carrying it out, so it's not a real apology when the things you believe are even worse than the things you said.
- I'm sorry I did not benefit from my actions in the way I anticipated
  
  I made a calculated decision to be racist, and I hate that it failed to illicit a positive reaction so I’m sorry I was only pretending
What the fuck is a readout of a phone call?
- A transcription of a phone call or the recording of a phone call.
