Bowen Yang Retracts Telling Dems to Not ‘Waste Your Money’ on Jasmine Crockett’s Senate Campaign

.... Yang and (Matt) Rogers both retracted their remarks in separate Instagram posts on Saturday. Their retractions follow some social media users accusing Yang of “anti-Blackness” for telling Dems to not donate to Crockett.

“Should not have cursorily weighed in on this,” Yang posted. “Understanding the platform and will use it more responsibly.” ....

Rogers insisted he was (sic) a “very progressive person who cares deeply about winning these elections, but my phrasing was not right. I will be more thoughtful! I really do promise.”

He added, “I have great respect and admiration for Rep. Crockett, and I regret that my words suggested otherwise. I just want us to win and I will be better at finding ways to help.” ....

5. That's about the most bland "apology" I've seen

Posted to stories too, so it’s only temporarily visible.

Stick to your guns or actually apologize. This in between crap to save face looks worse.

6. Wow, sounds like they are in it for the money...

and are afraid of losing followers.

7. I'm disappointed in YANG, guess that what I thought was fun was due to the writers.
