Fredricka Whitfield has more or less apologized for a comment she made Saturday about the guy who stormed the Dallas Police Department headquarters.
The CNN anchor had called him “brave” and “courageous,” drawing a stampede of criticism.

Today she said something quite different: “Yesterday during a segment on the Dallas police department attack, I used the words ‘courageous and brave,’ when discussing the gunman. I misspoke and in no way believe the gunman was courageous or brave,” Whitfield said.
Well, I guess there’s an apology in there somewhere.
The man was shot dead by a police department sniper. He’s been identified as James Boulware, who opened fire on the PD from an armored van.
Whitfield said she “misspoke.”
I’ll just ask one more question: What did she intend to say?
