I’m seeing a lot of this from the leftist media in NC
“Apology!” From the article
Rep. Julie von Haefen (D-Wake) drew criticism for a post she made to social media that included a photo showing a depiction of a beheaded President Donald Trump with imagery of a guillotine.
The Wake County Democrat had posted the image in a video on her Instagram account, taken from the “No Kings” protest in Raleigh on June 14.
The image gained attention, and she later admitted to editing it out of the video. She has since made her official Instagram account “private.”
Additionally, von Haefen also deleted her X account, which may be a violation of state records and social media retention laws for elected officials.
I’ve been in many Twitter debates, regarding the slow posting of what she did, in comparison to if a Republican did it, and how the media would demand the Republican resign. Anyhow
Around 3 p.m. on Sunday, von Haefen issued a statement on her official Facebook page, which did not include an apology but instead addressed the deletion of the “inappropriate” image.
“Yesterday, I posted a video on social media containing crowd photos from the No Kings protest in Raleigh. One of the images of a protestor holding a sign was inappropriate, and I later edited the video to remove the photo,” von Haefen wrote.
“Let me be clear: I condemn political violence in all forms,” wrote von Haefen. “My focus remains on bringing people together and fighting for the values that matter to North Carolinians. Like so many, I was horrified by the violence in Minnesota. There is no place for that kind of extremism in our democracy, no matter the target, no matter the party.”
So, not an apology. Not even a non-apology apology
Near the end of conclusion of business on the House floor on Tuesday, von Hafen was recognized to offer a short apology.
“This weekend, I shared a video montage on Facebook that included an image that was inappropriate. I realized that quickly and took the post down,” said von Haefen. “And I want to apologize today.
“I apologize to members of the House, to my constituents, and to any North Carolinian who is offended by what I posted. I’m sorry. Every one of us needs to take accountability for when we make mistakes. I am taking that accountability today, and I appreciate the opportunity to do so.”
So, you get the apology if you are offended. In other words, she is trying to save her position.
The crazy North Carolina MAGAt, teach, posted the same picture as Rep von Haefen. Did teach apologize?
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) mocked a politician and her husband from Minnesota, murdered by a trump supporter. Did Lee apologize? Nah, he’s afraid of Fat Donnie.
Will the GOP dominated Senate insist Lee apologize? Nah, they’re afraid of Fat Donnie.
