Women folk's March apologizes for e-mail reporting an realistic donation of $14.92: 'A year of colonization'

NEWThat it is seemingly you’ll now hear to Fox News articles!

The Women folk’s March apologized on Tuesday after sending out an e-mail reporting an realistic donation of $14.92, a resolve reflecting the year Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas.

“We stutter regret deeply for the e-mail that used to be sent lately. $14.92 used to be our realistic donation quantity this week,” the apology on Twitter said. “It used to be an oversight on our segment to now not invent the connection to a year of colonization, conquest, and genocide for Indigenous other folks, seriously sooner than Thanksgiving.”

It is unclear if the apology used to be basically based entirely on stutter complaints made by e-mail recipients offended by the mention of 1492. The Women folk’s March didn’t at this time answer to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The apology used to be widely mocked on Twitter, with many users announcing they had been unable to resolve whether or now not the post used to be satire.
