CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Apologizes For Comments Seen As Anti-Veteran

CNN reporter Brook Baldwin issued an emotional, on-air apology one day after saying that Baltimore cops who were also military veterans were more “ready to do battle.” Appearing CNN’s “New Day” on Wednesday, Baldwin made no bones about the fact that she had made a mistake when she had made her comments on Tuesday.

“I inartfully chose my words a hundred percent, and I just wish, just speaking to all of you this morning … I wholeheartedly retract what I said. I’ve thought tremendously about this, and to our nation’s veterans — to you, I have the utmost respect for our men and women in uniform, and I wanted you to know that this morning. So to all of you, I owe you a tremendous apology. I am truly sorry.” She said. Watch the video and see how a real apology is done.
