There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere.It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without ever acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes, multiplied by the tens of thousands and millions on the part of people just like me, hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways.But that erasure of personal and public history would be wrong.I owe you a full-throated apology.I believed a farrago of lies. And, as a result of these lies, and my credulity — and the credulity of people similarly situated to me - many conservatives’ reputations are being tarnished, on false bases.--------------I don’t like President Trump (Do I not? Who knows? I have been lied to about him so much for so long, I can‘t tell whether my instinctive aversion is simply the habituated residue of years of being on the receiving end of lies).But I like the liars who are our current gatekeepers, even less.The gatekeepers who lie to the public about the most consequential events of our time — and who thus damage our nation, distort our history, and deprive half of our citizenry of their right to speak, champion and choose, without being tarred as would-be violent traitors - deserve our disgust.I am sorry the nation was damaged by so much untruth issued by those with whom I identified at the time.I am sorry my former “tribe” is angry at a journalist for engaging in —- journalism.I am sorry I believed so much nonsense.Though it is no doubt too little, too late —Conservatives, Republicans, MAGA:I am so sorry.
