by Tamar Auber | Nov 24th, 2018, 5:29 pm
Turning Point USA staffer Anna Paulina issued her own apology on Friday after she compared Hillary Clinton to herpes during a Fox News segment on Thanksgiving morning.
Paulina who also decided to talk about border control in a segment that was supposed to be on Clintons emails likewise suggested that goof was due to being placed in the wrong segment and the resulting confusion led to her herpes remark.
Yesterday on Fox I was placed on the wrong segment & in the confusion made a brash and unprofessional joke. To Fox and those watching, I am deeply sorry, she wrote.
She added: My feeling simply is that Big Government creates dynasties like the Clintons that wont go away & Americans are over it.

OP
Only an apology to Fox and the viewers but not the one who was insulted?

Beware of right wingers being apologetic, it smacks a bit of the original Trojan Horse caper.

Lil miss TPUSA thought she had a good nasty joke as a dig at the former SOS - whose shoes Anna isn't fit to shine - and it didn't get the reaction her rethug cohorts usually give her.
She had incredibly poor judgment. It showed her to be one hell of a partisan jerk. As said above, she apologized to the wrong people.
