"I was reflecting on something that I believe the president had said, rather than who he is."

National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher expressed contrition for old tweets labeling Donald Trump a “deranged racist” and a “fascist” as she testified Wednesday before the House committee considering yanking NPR’s federal funding.
“Let me ask you,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., “why did you call President Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in 2020?”
Maher told Burchett she was eager to address the old posts.
“I regret those tweets,” the NPR chief executive told the congressman. “I would not tweet them again today. They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that I believe the president had said, rather than who he is. I don’t presume that anyone is a racist.”
Maher was scrutinized for the old tweets months into her NPR tenure.
In 2018, she tweeted, “Also, Donald Trump is a racist.”
The tweet has since been deleted.
Only because money is on the line is she saying “all the right things”.
Maher needs fired and sent packing before she does any more damage. Not one penny should be spent on NPR if she remains in a leadership position. I have read several articles about Maher and she needs to go now or we (America) needs to get out of NPR. She is a leftist disgrace.
In fact just pull all .gov NPR funding....Let Soros buy it and add it to his media empire.
