Democrat Loretta Sanchez Apologizes for Racist Native American 'War Cry'

Definitely the thing to do. You want to apologize and move on after a racist Democrat slur like that.

At the O.C. Register, "Loretta Sanchez apologizes for remark many criticized":

U.S. Senate candidate Loretta Sanchez apologized Sunday after a videotape surfaced showing her making a whooping cry in reference to Native Americans that brought her a cascade of reprimands from fellow Democrats to posts on Twitter.

Speaking to party activists at a state Democratic convention Sunday, Sanchez described herself as a longtime champion of civil and human rights who has Native American blood in her mother's family. She said she had a hectic day of speeches and handshaking at the convention Saturday and was not the type of politician routinely managed or sheltered by "handlers."

"It's hard to put yourself out there and to do what leaders need to do — day in and day out — and yes, sooner or later we make mistakes," she told the delegates. "In this crazy and exciting rush of meetings yesterday, I said something offensive and for that I sincerely apologize."

And hey, a Kamala Harris operative caught the racist gaffe on video. Well played Kamala Harris. Well played.
