“The late Richard J. Daley famously declared that ‘we as Democrats have no apologies to make to anyone.’ That doctrine seems still to be alive and well with many in the party when it comes to President-elect Trump. After ABC News and its anchor George Stephanopoulos apologized to Trump last week to settle a defamation lawsuit, many Democrats were apoplectic. Marc Elias, the controversial lawyer involved in the funding of the infamous Steele dossier by the Clinton campaign, denounced ABC News for bending a knee to Trump. He then trolled for contributions for his own organization as ‘unapologetically pro-democracy.’ Of course, ABC was not apologizing for advancing democracy but for alleged defamation.” (12/16/24)
