The Fresno Grizzlies apologized for 'not properly vetting the video' and pulling attention away from veterans.
The Fresno Grizzlies, a minor league baseball team, played a Memorial Day tribute video Monday that placed a photo of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez between images of dictators. The team apologized and said it had not properly vetted the externally created video.
On Tuesday evening, Ocasio-Cortez issued an emphatic response, writing on Twitter that messages like the one in the baseball team’s video are the reason she’s bombarded with death threats and hate-filled calls, emails and social media posts. I‘ve had mornings where I wake up & the 1st thing I do w/ my coffee is review photos of the men who want to kill me. https://t.co/hiYbPghad7
The Grizzlies staff member responsible for the video was “remorseful,” team spokesman Paul Braverman told The Washington Post in an email. Braverman confirmed that the team would conduct an internal review to determine how the video bypassed internal controls meant to prevent this kind of incident.— Fresno Grizzlies May 28, 2019 Asked to comment, the Nationals referred to the Fresno club’s statement.
Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee has also suggested Ocasio-Cortez had been brainwashed by foreign agents to bring down the United States from the inside.
