Viewers of CNN’s “New Day” must have been terribly confused when afternoon anchor Brooke Baldwin popped up out of the blue to retract and apologize for something totally unspecified. Baldwin never once told the early morning audience what it was she was talking about.

Because the decision was made not to disclose the reason for the retraction and apology, the whole thing came off as a bizarre non sequitur.

For those of you who don’t know, during a Tuesday afternoon interview with Democrat Congressman Elijah Cummings, Baldwin said of our veterans who become police officers, “I love our nation’s veterans, but some of them are coming back from war, they don’t know the communities, and they are ready to do battle.”

The dangerous, damaged veteran is of course the most unfair smear and rancid stereotype anyone has ever come up with.

The uproar was immediate. At first Baldwin tried to put the blame off on some unspecified person. Finally, she took to Twitter to apologize.

Baldwin needs to tell the CNN audience exactly what she did and then offer the apology above. Hiding the truth of what she did, is simply bad journalism. You can’t retract something without saying what it is you are retracting. This is a serious matter and full disclosure is a must.

This will create enough interest that folks will find at least a dozen remarks in her past that deserved the apology.

Some police departments preferred veterans before the 1990s.

Damn libs can’t do anything right.

CHRIS CUOMO: You jumped into it yesterday while it was going a hundred miles an hour and there’s a learning curb for you as well.

Did Chris Cuomo actually say "learning curb", or was this a transcription mistake?

And are there no paid Editors any longer? If there are, they should be fired immediately.

Never mind controlling Crime , Control the police and Vets ,the Fools are In Charge

[equaviator]

I could never stay mad at Brooke Baldwin.

[Lumper20]

She stated it was Veterans who started the Baltimore riots. Yeah, it was vets not 13-18 year old punks throwing rocks, looting and burning. Unbelievable. She is an idiot.

[VeniVidiVici]

I think she was apologizing for being on CNN

[Snickering Hound]

Not Guilty.

[GeronL]

lol

Makes the apology meaningless

[GeronL]

back to Tweeter to taunt BB by trying to decide what she is apologies for

[Mister Da]

Well, since she wont tell us what she is sorry about, then let’s fill in the blanks:

Sorry because:

She’s an overpaid, empty headed, insensitive tart.

Her teeth whitener hasn’t done a thing for that ugly mouth.

She’s an American & so are we.

She is white. We think she needs race reassignment surgery.

Can anyone else think of a reason for her to be sorry?

Message to Brooke:

Woman, shut up.

[drewh]

not guilty by means of temporary insanity, still assinged to re-education to my house in flyover country

[OttawaFreeper]

Who really gives a sh$t about her and her puerile, shallow way of looking at the world that is shared by many others like her at CNN or MSNBC or Fox or CBS or NBC or ABC. Saturday morning programming on the networks back in the 1970s when I was a kid was probably far more educational than what is on the news channels today.

“I’m sorry you misguided fools are calling me out on this.”
