    It’s classy to accept an apology—and give the benefit of the doubt (like Pence did after Joy Behar mocked his faith).https://twitter.com/thatcarr/status/980181236659380225 …

    What if the public apologies are lies? Do we have to accept disingenuous ones, for civility?

        Classy maybe......... required no. She started it. She did the same thing with Lebron. Please don't make her bad behavior about him. I think the market is reacting to the totality of all her offensive statement.

        Forgiveness & Contrition are attributes associated with humble & decent people, however flawed we may be, so politically speaking then, these attributes are shunned by the Left. They use our decency against us to go for the kill, Andrew Breitbart taught me well!!

        How would forgiveness & contrition from @davidhogg111 have changed this outcome? @IngrahamAngle is being held accountable because of her past behavior. She seems to always want to use a person's dignity to go for the kill. She did this with @davidhogg111 and @KingJames.

        Not necessarily good to accept shallow apology. When will people like her learn that to bully is unacceptable. Maybe now. Nothing to do with opposing political views and you know it. Everything to do with her rude bullying of a 17 year old!

        1) saying it’s classy to accept a lie seems like blaming the person being lied to if they don’t accept the lie, despite that they have a superior moral position 2) your example doesn’t translate well for the power dynamics Ingraham > Hogg Pence > Behar Easy for Pence to accept

        Replying to @thatcarr @mattklewis

        One part of demanding an apology is to reinforce the boundaries of what is acceptable public discourse - not necessarily to change the offender’s opinion. Even if her apology was insincere, solely because of ad $$, that goal was met

        So by your standards he’s smarter than her & tricked her, by getting her to apologize, not accepting, & she lost sponsors. I guess that’s one way of framing this

        Replying to @thatcarr @mattklewis

        That’s not at all what I said ... She was losing sponsors before the apology. She apologized, he declined, so now what? How does this end? Because it wasn’t Hogg alone who did this, it was public pressure. But at some point it becomes spiteful/revenge, and you lose the public

        From the outset Hogg & others were out to avenge their friends’/classmates’ murders. If you think vengeance is bad that’s ok but they’ve not hid their motivation. It looks like Ingraham will lose her job at Fox so that’s where this ends for her. As for us all, I hope w/ no guns!

        I don’t think the Parkland kids will lose the public - that’s why Ingraham freaked & lashed out

        Pence "accepted" her apology by suggesting she offer one to every Christian leading to the same calls to boycott Joy as there are Ingraham.

        Even if the "apology" includes a plug for her show since it is Holy week. She's so rude and condescending.

        It’s easier to have your apologies accepted when you’ve already banked some goodwill. Unfortunately, Ingraham has denigrating gays, Muslims, minorities and immigrants, and brings none to the table.
