CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Issues Heartfelt Apology To Veterans Over Baltimore Riots Comments: Is It Enough?


Brooke Baldwin, the embattled CNN anchorwoman, has had a rough 24 hours after blaming veterans for part of the police brutality problem, which some say is directly to blame for the Baltimore riots.

While covering the riots for her employer, Baldwin muttered something she now wishes she wouldn’t have.

In an interview, she said the following while setting up a question.

“I love our nation’s veterans, but some of them are coming back from war, they don’t know the communities, and they are ready to do battle.”

To say there was backlash would be something of an understatement. When Brooke realized how many people were angry over the statement, she issued this tweet.

That didn’t do much to appease.

That was just a sliver of the criticism Brooke Baldwin received for her first go at an apology, so on Wednesday morning, she followed up with a more direct statement, which you can hear below.

If you’re not at a place where you can watch a video, here is a summation.

“I absolutely misspoke,” Baldwin said. “I inartfully chose my words, 100 percent. And I wholeheartedly retract what I said… I have the utmost respect for the men and women in uniform. To all of you, I owe you a tremendous apology.”

That now said, how are veterans reacting to the Brooke Baldwin apology? It’s a mixed bag, really. Some were okay with it.

While others, not so much.

But what do you think, readers? Has Brooke Baldwin exonerated herself? Should vets let this go, or continue to be angry given the fact that today’s apology was somewhat of a redo from her previous attempt? Sound off in the comments section.
