Slight problem: people actually part of the rally knew it was bullshit, took her picture and looked around; her name is Renee Vaughan and she works for Texas Campaign For The Environment.
After it came out who/what she is, she said she's sorry: I didn't think before I acted, etc.
Apparently not when she had the idea, not while she was making the sign, or travelling to the rally... TCFE is sorry, too.
She's really sorry about doing it, or sorry about getting caught?
Added:
Ace says she wasn't trying to act like one of the crowd, she was trying to insult them. And the media just assumed she was a pro-Zimmerman type.
So what is she apologizing for?
Update 2:
Thehoax began with vague and ambiguous reporting from the Houston Chronicle in regards to a picture of a protester holding a sign that during a Justice-for-Trayvon/New Black Panther Party protest. The New York Daily News’ Philip Caulfield then distorted the Chronicle’s reporting and spun a narrative portraying the Houston paper’s report as directly identifying the sign bearer as a “Zimmerman supporter.”
A Democratic strategist, Tara Dowdell, then took to FOX News and asserted the false narrative as fact. Soon, the UK’s Daily Mail repeated the false reporting from the New York Daily News as fact to an international community.
The New York Daily News retracted the false claims after outcry resulting from the Breitbart video. Tara Dowdell initially tried to argue the issue via Twitter, but once the video of the interview was made available to her, she simply went silent. She did not acknowledge her error, nor did she apologize to Zimmerman supporters for the smear she presented to millions of viewers on national television.
