„I failed you last night.“
This is one thorough apology. I mean, even for an average joe this would be something. Coming from a politician, it’s practically historic.
It’s “John Cleese hanging upside down outside the window” caliber.
Trump as governor would have said something about how we wishes the reporter were Jim Acosta and suggested that the cops use their nightsticks next time.
Walz makes a smart point in the clip about why the arrest was such a bad look. It’s not just another community relations fiasco due to embarrassingly bad policing a few days removed from an incident in which embarrassingly bad policing killed a man. It’s that people watching the arrest play out on TV might come away from it believing that the cops are planning to get aggressive with protesters and rioters and want to make sure there are no cameras around when they do.
