South Carolina Democrat Calls Cadets ‘Immature’ In Apology For Smearing Them, Calls For ‘Sensitivity’ Training, Attacks Those Who Wanted Her To Apologize

South Carolina Democrat State Representative Mandy Powers Norrell issued an apology on Monday for smearing West Point cadets nearly two weeks ago when she falsely claimed that they were flashing “white power” signs during a college football game.

In her apology, Norrell called the cadets “immature” and demanded that there be sensitivity training at the service academies to educate the cadets because hand signals mean “different things to different people.” Norrell also attacked those who had called her out over her false statements as being “Twitter trolls.”
