CNN's Abby Phillip Apologizes For 'Inaccurate Wording'

I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. That wording was inaccurate and I didn’t catch it ahead…

CNN is brimming with FAKE NEWS and inaccurate, inadequate "apologies."

Just stop, @abbydphillip …You are literally READING FROM THE TELEPROMPTER - which means you saw it ahead of time, and it was seen & vetted by at least one other @CNN producer, boss, etc … if not more. Inexcusable. And predictable. https://t.co/NSkBpkwbeb
