Quote Unquote: Apologize-for-It-Now

Lisa Chan — the actress in Rep. Pete Hoekstra's now-infamously racist Super Bowl ad against Sen. Debbie Stabenow — makes a statement concerning her participation…

.

"I am deeply sorry for any pain that the character I portrayed brought to my communities. As a recent college grad who has spent time working to improve communities and empower those without a voice, this role is not in any way representative of who I am. It was absolutely a mistake on my part and one that, over time, I hope can be forgiven. I feel horrible about my participation and I am determined to resolve my actions."

They say all publicity is good publicity, so this must be fantastic news for Hoekstra! Good for him!
