A Florida prosecutor who made a series of crass and insulting Facebook posts won’t face disciplinary action. But don’t worry! He is sorry that people got offended because the media blew it all out of proportion.
Kenneth Lewis (sort of but not really) apologized last week for comments he made on his personal Facebook page. Via WFTV:
“I used a poor choice of word in using the term ‘crack hoe’ instead of ‘drug addict,'” Lewis said. “To those I unintentionally offended, I offer you my deepest apologies. I regret it was misinterpreted by some.”
He went on to slam media on its coverage of the post, as well as coverage involving drug addiction, particularly crack cocaine.
“I believe if the media truly cared about the people they accuse me of offending that they would do stories about people on crack,” said Lewis.
He also said, “I use hyperbole, sensationalism to get reaction from people to start discussing.”
What kind of category of non-apology apology does this bullshit fall under? It’s like a mix of “Sorry if you were offended” and “It’s all the media’s fault!” Yes, the media is entirely to blame for your shitty, racist comments, Lewis. Because the media doesn’t report on drug addiction AT ALL. What a truly amazing example of deflection. This is like my dog screaming “WHAT ABOUT BENGHAZI??!!?” when I catch her peeing in the house.
