CNN's Hilary Rosen apologies after first apology to Sanders surrogate Nina Turner sparks uproar

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

The back-and-forth began during a Thursday night appearance on "Cuomo Prime Time" where Rosen and Turner butted heads over whether the Sanders campaign surrogate was allowed to use what she described was Martin Luther King Jr.'s "warning" about "white moderates," who he suggested are "more devoted to 'order' than justice" in a 1963 letter he had written from a jail cell in Birmingham.

Rosen faced plenty of criticism on social media over her remarks to Turner as well as CNN anchor Chris Cuomo for not doing enough to moderate the panel.

However, it wasn't until she made her first apology to Turner that sparked major backlash.

"On air thurs I said my colleague @ninaturner didn't have a standing to use MLK Jr. That was wrong. I am sorry for saying those words. [Please] no need to defend me and attack angry black women. They have standing. I always need to listen more than I talk. We rise together," Rosen said in a now-deleted early morning tweet.

1. 'We rise together.'

2. "angry black women"?

that's an odd turn of phrase to include in an apology to a black woman.

5. Well I wouldn't be looking for corporate media conglomerate CNN to report on it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. Are you saying that Fox isn't a corporate media conglomerate?

That'd be a huge surprise to the Murdochs.

[Uncle Joe]

26. No I never said that, there are five corporate media conglomerates

and FOX is one of them but it wasn't FOX's program that she appeared on or works for, it was CNN.

18. Rosen had nothing to apologize for.

[radius777]

19. it was BLACK moderates in the South

that powered Biden to victory.

That should've been Rosen's retort to Turner, instead of getting into the weeds about who or who did not have standing to quote MLK.

MLK also stated 'the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice', indicating that he clearly also understood the need for steady and pragmatic change that was possible instead of utopianism that was not.

[ChubbyStar]

21. MLK said the arc is long, BUT you now get to decide what that indicates?

Don't think so.

[radius777]

23. Accepting that justice takes place over a long period,

is a moderate stance.

Note that MLK was a moderate on civil rights who was willing to work within existing structures -as compared to black nationalists and others who favored more radical solutions.

[ChubbyStar]

24. Please stop

He was not murdered because he was a moderate. Got it? Thanks!
