Cedric, It’s Just Too Little Too Late

ICYMI:

Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond made a lewd sexist joke about Kellyanne Conway at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner last week.

Instead of immediately issuing a sincere apology, Richmond first justified the behavior and followed up with a half-hearted apology five days later.

Nancy Pelosi even dodged questions and wouldn’t condemn Richmond for the disgusting comment.

Halfhearted apologies may seem better than none at all – but it brings to question why it took so long for Richmond to realize what was blatantly obvious.
