Minor league baseball team apologizes after showing video edited to place Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among “enemies of freedom,” including Kim Jong-Un and Fidel Castro.
A minor league baseball team in California is apologizing after showing a video on Memorial Day that was edited in a way that appeared to place Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among “enemies of freedom,” including North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
The three-minute, 35-second-long video, which the team said in a statement was “pre-produced…from outside [their] front office,” featured audio clips from former President Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural address in 1981 over images and videos of America, members of the military and Arlington National Cemetery. The team said the video was meant to be shown as “a moving tribute."
The Grizzlies called the video's editing “misleading and offensive,” and said it “made a statement that was not [the team’s] intent and certainly not [the team’s] opinion.”
