Many wonder if her apology was sincere, or remembers it was her mouth (fingers) and comments like that got her fired from ESPN.

Left-of-center ESPN didn't fire her for her multiple lies against Trump culminating in calling him a White Supremacist. She was later "let go" because she violated their social media policies a second time, after calling on fans to boycott the Dallas Cowboys’ advertisers (after owner Jerry Jones told players they would be benched if they did not stand up during the national anthem). Lying about the President on their network is fine -- but the Cowboys have a lot of fans, and that's a bridge too far.

Naturally, her contempt for the truth and far left of center views was welcomed over at The Atlantic, where they will make excuses for her doing this as well. But we know if she was a white guy that had said the same thing about Obama or Hillary, and she'd be out-on-her-ass.
