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.
