Today’s face of the day Jacinda Ardern, “acknowledged” “making a mistake” but she did NOT apologise as fake news Newshub has claimed both in their headline and in the body of the article. Their own direct quote from what Ardern said makes a lie of their claim.
The BFD. Newshub headline. The PM did NOT apologise she admitted that she made a mistake only.
Ardern apologised for breaking distancing protocols on Monday.
“All the way through on the campaign trail and even before during alert level settings, I worked really hard not to shake people’s hands, I sanitise, I wear my mask in Auckland and I work hard to try and keep my social distance,” she told reporters.
“In that particular photo, I did make a mistake, I should’ve stepped further forward, I should’ve asked them to step apart from each other, and I acknowledge that.”
She added she tries in every circumstance to follow COVID-19 rules.
The above is not an apology in any sense of the word.
