If only she'd had the guts to say, "I don't regret a single word."

She's a gutless coward

Don’t apologize for the truth.

How fast can they backtrack to ensure they don’t lose anything today?

Shame on her for recanting. Since then she has even more reason to state Trump is a fascist and sociopath.

FFS. Don't let them stifle your dissent. You know who he is.

Better response : "I would not put those words on twitter again. I'd rather express my free speech, as guaranteed by the constitution, on BlueSky."

Nazi collaborator

Oh come on!!!!! They are true statements. A personal opinion is different than a professional opinion. SCOTUS proves that everyday, right?

But he is both of those things. Truth is a defense

Nope. Those statements were true.

Guess we lost NPR

I am bribed now so I see clearer.

kiss the ring, they said

What a Tool

Pander pander pander a bully & you enable embolden a bully Who will be our Spartacus? Our Churchill? I would love to be.

I am begging literally any of these people to find a spine

TL:DR - "Don't send me to Guantanamo!"

We need some heroes. NPR, it could've been you.

I would have been like “where’s the lie?”

Exactly!!

She Spoke the Truth...

But she wasn’t wrong…

White women are the biggest enablers.

"He just did fascist and sociopathic things."

Guess I'm done with npr

And….another one bends the knee. #TheOpposition

Own it!

Anyone have the date and attendees for the Fox News committee report on their standards, anchors viewpoints, choice of trigger words for their viewers and line of news reporting!?? Can’t seem to find it anywhere! 🤷‍♀️

If she was on her knees pleading this wouldn't be any less humiliating/cringeworthy.

yikes

What is she on trial for here?

This capitulation makes my skin crawl. She was right the first time.

"I said the President should be hauling garbage. I'm sorry. I meant to say that he should be hauled away AS GARBAGE."

Wow, she regrets speaking the truth.

Feckless bitch

We now live in a pathocracy…

If kowtowing to a fascism is what needs to be done to save NPR then GOODBYE NPR!

Trump is continuously saying things since 2016 that make me see him as a fascist and a sociopath. Based on the 9 year experience of not being able to avoid hearing every single dumb uttering from Trump, I believe he is a fascist and a sociopath.

She was right tho.

Fuck you, coward. Appeasers deserve no sympathy.

Much truer. Plain as the nose on your face too!

They’re still going to cut funding no matter how much NPR management grovels.

But she was right!?

This is disturbing

Keeling over? knuckling down? What would you call it?

I know exactly who rump is… You were correct shame on you for kissing the fucking ring.

Sorry Montana NPR. Most of your work is great. But I will not update my expired credit card info while this head of NPR complies in advance with fascists.

The backbone of a liberal

I stopped years ago. Even that game show they have is dipshit now.

If it talks like a fascist sociopath, and walks like a fascist sociopath....

Well, who he is is obviously a fascist sociopath. What has changed in her view? He doubled down, and that convinced her she was wrong?

See? That's all the American people want. People who can admit error and just be honest about things

Disgusting cowardice.

No more NPR. Looks like The Atlantic will be my #1

NPR falling off sucks.

📌

What a PATHETIC person🤮

Wow. Way to defend NPR against the Nazis. By puckering up and kissing some big orange ass 🧡💋. Trump IS a FASCIST and a Sociopath. If you regret those tweets, you aren't going to defend the freedom of the press from these Treasonists. That makes you ONE OF THEM.

Obviously, she needs to be fired immediately.

Well, looks like it’s time to take NPR behind the barn.

Shame, CEO Maher. @npr.org

Appeasing fascists never works. It never has worked. It never will work. Get out while you still have some dignity left.

Coward.

No ma'am, your tweets were spot on, unfortunately he is thin skinned and given unlimited power. Hang in there.

Jesus, I am so done with all these cowards who continue to kiss his ass for monetary reasons.

suppress speech much

She is a very smart woman and She was not wrong in 2020.

Just deleted my NPR app

"I regret accusing him of being a racist, but I stand by calling him a fascist and a sociopath".

Where has integrity gone…? No one seems to have it anymore.

And that's why I have mostly stopped listening to NPR. Too tepid for our times.

NPR has lost all of its validity as a centered news agency when they supported the israeli propaganda that Palestine was the enemy. They are a disgusting news source and should be embarrassed to even call themselves journalists.

Maybe like the Director of National Intelligence she tweeted that from her personal account and she maintains her 1st amendment rights to speak on her personal opinions.

Slowly all end up Bowing to the Orange King... Just the confirmation of the really corporate oligarchic plutocracy that runs the US since the Reagan era...

Republicans would be vocally opposing Democrats use of 5 year old tweets to impugn a witness. And Republican aligned witnesses would evade, obscure, and deny

He is what he says. We all know that. This is sickening capitulation to save her own ass.

More lies. Is this a bothsiderism?

Shame on you, Maher. Shame on you, turncoat.

Everybody knows he's a Fascist and a Sociopath. Now he holds the purse strings so we have to play nice, but it doesn't change the facts. 47 is a Fascist and a Sociopath.

Sorry, but I cancelled further donations when they immediately discarded their "DEI" program when trump signed his EO

Kangaroo courts for a joke of a country.

This is a very scary time! We’re watching Trump’s administration carry out targeted attacks on political opponents & their supporters. They are ignoring long established bulwarks against despotic tyrants and destroying trust between time-honoured friendships. Time to stand up America, not capitulate

At least she didn't perjure herself.

We're witnessing fear from very smart people.

in other @npr.org news the portrait of a coward today's story is about our feckless CEO #KatherineMaher who shows how to bootlick the proper cowardly way

But he IS a facist and a sociopath. She just regrets having said it out loud?

I don’t get people like this. What is she afraid of? I’m sure she’s very well off; if she lost her job she might have to, what, sell her summer home?

Add her name to the list of cowards and appeasers who happily bent the knee to the Fascist uprising.

Pathetic. She should resign.

First off Burchett is a complete incompetent at the highest level. If we are talking tweets we have a boat load of terrible tweets from trump as president.

She was right the first time.

I'm shocked at the level of humiliation she's willingly going through. It's genuinely wild.

If she ever goes on vacation out of the US, she will not be allowed back in. The US has become a dictatorship like East Germany.

I hope she at least threw up in her mouth when she said those words

The King is a Tyrant whether or not we say so. We might as well say so. -T Jefferson, 1776

Hear, hear 👏👏👏👏👏

He also appears to have some form of dementia

To most of the world.

Exactly... she ain't keeping her job so she may as well own it.

Wtf is wrong with her. Gutless. Resign

This is the way.

Also: “Many people are strongly saying that he’s THE most sociopathic person to occupy the White House.”

💯

If bending the knee buys you time, it buys you time.

Balls.

"Sure, Hitler SAYS a lot of messed up shit. But you should see him ball."

Whether you fight with everything you have, or give in, submit and obey your attacker, the danger is the same.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Jeez

Donald Trump is destroying American strength from within. He is a clear danger to our country.

Sounds like she has been intimidated and is lying thorugh her teeh to protect NPR from the MAGA vultures in Congress

Imagine walking back your take that trump is a fascist and a sociopath after the last 2 months

Coward

She was right when she wrote those words. We are now already in a fascist country that will only get worse. We're on our way to a 1984 society. Wait for Minitru.

He is, in fact, a fascist and a sociopath. He has proven it many times over.

She's a private fucking citizen and the government is shutting down her right to free speech!!!!

Sorry, doesn't she have a 1st Amendment right to her opinions on her personal postings JUST LIKE TULSI GABBARD CLAIMED SHE HAD TODAY UNDER OATH IN THE SENATE?

E tu, NPR?

Damn Katherine. Don’t take it back. Just own it. He is!

Truth.
