Fredricka Whitfield has more or less apologized for a comment she made Saturday about the guy who stormed the Dallas Police Department headquarters.<\/p>\n

The CNN anchor had called him “brave” and “courageous,” drawing a stampede of criticism.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Well, I guess there’s an apology in there somewhere.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Whitfield said she “misspoke.”<\/p>\n

I’ll just ask one more question: What did she intend<\/em> to say?<\/p>\n\n
