Even though he took out an that read “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY” in literally all 5 of America’s biggest news organizations — he now apparently has flat refused to apologise for the ad. To this day — Trump has never issued any form of an apology even though all 5 members of the so-called “Central Park 5” wer actually exonerated.
According to Sandra Rose, the question came about after a young reporter posted it after presumably having watched When They See Us. That reporter has been identified as White House Correspondent April Ryan.
“You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt,” Trump replied to the question. It’s worth noting, thanks to SR, that Trump previously published a second op-ed in the New York Daily News in 2014 calling the groups’ settlement a “disgrace”.
“My opinion on the settlement of the Central Park Jogger case is that it’s a disgrace. A detective close to the case, and who has followed it since 1989, calls it “the heist of the century.”
Settling doesn’t mean innocence, but it indicates incompetence on several levels. This case has not been dormant, and many people have asked why it took so long to settle? It is politics at its lowest and worst form.”
