South Carolina Democrat apologizes for ‘white power’ remarks after Army, Navy personnel cleared of racist intent
By Dom Calicchio | Fox News



A South Carolina state lawmaker has issued an apology after recently drawing backlash for accusing Army and Navy personnel of making a “white power” gesture at the recent Army-Navy college football game in Philadelphia.

“Not because of threats and harassment from Twitter trolls,” South Carolina state Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell, a Democrat from Lancaster, writes in an online post, “but because it’s the right thing to do.”

The post includes a two-page letter dated Monday and addressed to the superintendents of the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy.

That letter proves it. Mandy Powers Norrell, a Democrat from Lancaster, is an idiot and has the IQ of lint.

It took her 9 days and a two page letter to say, "I was wrong. I am sorry."?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

She then suggests that the “OK” symbol be added to the list of gestures discussed in the academies’ “social awareness and sensitivity” training, to prevent future misunderstandings.

What a Dumbass.

AFAIK,the symbol means "A-OKAY" as in "everything is fine,and was originated,or at least popularized on the old "Our Gang" child comedy by none other than "Buckwheat",pronounced "Buhweet" who happened to be a black child star in a cast full of white children in the 30's.

I guess "Buhweet" was a racist that hated blacks,so that's why he hung out with white boys?
