Discretion is the better part of valor. This just takes the hammer that the GOP has been using to beat her with out of their hands. It's not as if she is apologizing for some central idea or any part of the substance of what she said, so there's no reason to dig in and vociferously defend such an irrelevant part of her testimony.

I can tell this is your first day here on Earth, so let me explain: What will happen now is they will hammer even harder, every hour of every day, until impeachment is over and long afterward, until eventually Trump will just have to mention her name at one of his goon rallies in the same tone he mentions Lisa Page and Peter Strozk to inspire mocking cheers and roars of rage, and long after everyone else on Earth has forgotten who this woman is she will remain a hate-object in Knuckle-Walker Land, because she dared to mock the God-Emperor's child.

Exactly, the GOPs entire operating procedure revolves around them constantly being apologized to for perceived slights. Don’t play into it.
― frogbs, Thursday, 5 December 2019 01:35 (four years ago) link
Don’t get me wrong it would be understandable if there was any chance someone was actually offended by this but we all know that they don’t really care. Trump probably doesn’t even remember the kid’s name.

So, if one concludes that there is no difference whatsoever between the result if she apologizes and if she doesn't, then there is no harm at all in her apologizing and it becomes just a personal decision she made for her own purposes; it's none of our business.

Can I just say what garbage it is for anyone to say "we take no joy in this, this will tear the country apart." The "country" really doesn't give a shit, and those that do get to vote in a year. Is the 2020 election any less likely to "tear the nation apart?" Would Trump winning/losing be any less "divisive" than any candidate winning/losing, or any less divisive than it was in 2016?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 5 December 2019 16:04 (four years ago) link
I feel like a sizable chunk of people voted Trump in 2016 simply because he was not Hillary, and thought we should "give him a chance." Since then he has vacillated between moronic and evil, and his entire administration is corrupt and venal, so a vote for him in 2020 *is* more divisive, because the voter wants to perpetuate even more of this shit.
