A writer for CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Sunday apologized for her "sarcasm" in a deleted tweet about newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Ariel Dumas on Saturday tweeted, "Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life." The post quickly went viral, as multiple conservative pundits retweeted it with critical commentary.
Dumas the next day said the tweet was a "tone-deaf attempt at sarcasm."
"The last couple of weeks have been hard for the country and for me personally," she wrote. "The complexity of frustration, anger and sadness can’t be accurately conveyed on twitter, and I regret my tone-deaf attempt at sarcasm in the wake of it."

— Ariel Dumas (@ArielDumas) October 7, 2018 She posted earlier in the week that she was "emotionally shattered by the current state of affairs."
Kavanaugh during his confirmation process over the past several weeks faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denied.
He was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday.
Dumas' original tweet came as Kavanaugh was being confirmed.
She posted an article earlier in the week that criticized Kavanaugh for saying the accusations had "ruined" him.
"In his statements to the committee, Judge Kavanaugh said the allegations against him had ruined his life even though he may well be confirmed to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court," read The New York Times article by writer Roxane Gay, from which Dumas tweeted screenshots.
"The bar for a man's ruin is, apparently, quite low," Gay wrote. "May we all be so lucky as to have our lives ruined."
Yes, dear - you are a victim
Well done.
<...”tone-deaf attempt at sarcasm.”...>
Really a “disgusting statement of seething hatred.”
A whole BIG load of it.
Her nicname is dumbass for a reason.
You’d think a comedy writer would be able to express sarcasm better, what she wrote clearly expresses gloating. Especially considering she has been mocking and attacking him for weeks.
That does not surprise me. Not one bit.
Apology not accepted, you despicable skank!

Maybe she needs a mega dose of butt hurt cream.
Dear Ariel,
**** you.

What is also irksome is Ford’s “nevermind” attitude in the wake of last week’s events. She says, through her representatives, that she is not seeking to have Justice Kavanaugh impeached, but that she just wanted to have her story heard. Yeah, right.
She’s attempting to backpedal so fast that she’s breaking the sound barrier.
Probably over one million Sicilians migrated to the United States. They had a culturally distinctive way to deal with people like Ariel Dumas and people who would try to destroy the life, career and family of a decent man. Suffice it to say Mr. Colbert would not be in a comical or “sarcastic” mood during his next show.
There is absolutely NO WAY that was sarcasm.
I guess it’s in that “I hope you die of miserable cancer” type sarcasm (rolling eyes).
She’s still employed????
She is already in line for a slam dunk deformation of character suit and her lawyers told her to STFU.
A competent writer should know the difference between sarcasm and sardonicism.
Considering where she is employed she is likely to get promoted!
