Republican National Convention organizers said apologies had been extended to CNN for what they called Tuesday's "deplorable" incident in which racist comments were leveled by two unidentified convention attendees at a CNN camera operator who is black.
On a conference call with media outlets, Kyle Downey, Republican National Convention press secretary, and Russ Schriefer, Romney for President strategist, condemned the comments "in the highest possible way," adding that organizers could not have been more clear that it was reprehensible conduct. He said there had been immediate and continued conversations with CNN, including apologies.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer had reported on air that two attendees had been immediately ejected from the hall after throwing peanuts at the camerawoman and saying: "This is how we feed animals." CNN said it had worked with convention officials to address the matter.
Is this what you're referring to? An incident that Republicans present at the event acknowledged happened and apologized for?
