Sam Nunberg, a former adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has written an apology letter to Rev. Al Sharpton for racially charged Facebook posts about the civil rights leader’s daughter, according to The Daily Caller.
“I am writing regarding a Facebook post that was reportedly posted to my account in 2007, more than eight years ago,” he began in his letter, according to the report. “I have no memory of writing it and am not saying I did. The post however allegedly said a disgusting, inexcusable reference to your daughter.”
Nunberg was fired over the weekend for the Facebook posts. Nunberg reportedly posted “meeting Rev. Sharpton, no joke – he will tell him that his daughter is N—-!” on Facebook.
“I know you are a man of God who believes in forgiveness and redemption,” Nunberg continued in the letter, according to the Daily Caller. “Even though it was eight years ago and I have no recollection of writing such thing, it was on my account and therefore I apologize. I humbly ask for your forgiveness.”
Trump’s people make lovely apologies…
I’m confused here with all his double speak. Is he saying this is his FB page, but someone else sometimes posts things on it? And he’s not sure if he did, or if this other mysterious person wrote it? And why is he using allegedly regarding what the post said? Is he disputing the words that were actually written?
Maybe in his roundabout way he is saying The Donald wrote it.
What he’s really saying is he knows those were his thoughts but it must have been a momentary “lapse” when writing them down on FB, He’s not disavowing the sentiment, just regretting he got caught and publicly embarrassed. And he lost his job.
