The Root is reporting -- INCORRECTLY -- that Sarah Huckabee Sanders deleted her apology to Biden

[highplainsdem]

I just saw this story at The Root

https://www.theroot.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-deletes-tweet-apologizes-for-mo-1840578188

and was irked to read there that SHS had deleted her tweeted apology (and I was guesssing Trump had told her to)...but then I checked my earlier OP about the apology

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287387758

so I could post the link for the tweet The Root said she'd deleted.

But it's still there:

I don't know why they're reporting that the tweet was deleted. SHS had deleeted her earlier post mocking Biden's stutter as he was talking about young people who stutter and how he's helped them. That was the thoughtless tweet she'd apologized for.

But she hasn't deleted the apology, and I'm glad to see she hasn't. Even though the Orange Menace is probably unhappy that anyone who ever worked for him would apologize to Joe Biden.

4. I'm not sure what the bias would be here, though.

It looks like they just got it wrong.

Better edit: Sorry. I completely misread the OP, which was talking about the deletion of the APOLOGY tweet, not the original tweet. Again, sorry.

2. The Root seems to be publishing a lot of crap these days.

6. Mchael Harriot from The Root also misinterpreted what Biden was saying.

He later (grudgingly) admitted his error.

Gawker Media has always sucked. They're not our allies.

9. Is Michael going to tell us come November not to vote for the Democratic nominee?

Cuz I've seen that shit before. Thanks Mike.

10. Is he the one that will never forgive white people for voting for Trump?

But black and Latino men don't seem to be on his list. I may be thinking of another contributor to the The Root, which really seems like a bush league publication.

11. Not entirely sure but he wrote the article that Hillary is white...

....and you can’t trust white people.

12. Oh, wow. I must have missed that.

Hope he's happy with Fat Nixon. I'm not.

13. No, that's Damon Young:

14. Oh, thanks. I knew there was a thread in GD about it...

but was too lazy to look it up. I think I remember seeing something like 38% of Latino men voted for Trump. Are they on his shit-list as well? Or AAs in the Philly area who sat out, contributing to the loss of those prime Pennsylvania electoral votes? All of this division is gonna kill us and I mean that literally as the GOP eyes Social Security and Medicare...
