Sarah Palin remained skeptical late last week after New York Times editor James Bennet issued a groveling, teary-eyed apology to the former Alaska governor in her ongoing defamation trial against The Gray Lady.
Palin, a former Republican nominee for vice president, sued the Times over a 2017 editorial she claimed harmed her reputation. In 2022, a jury rejected her claim, and a judge moved to dismiss the case. However, Palin was granted a retrial following an appeal.
James Bennet, an editor who played a significant role in publishing the piece, testified on Thursday.
“I blew it, you know,” Bennet said. “I made a mistake.”
Fighting back tears, he explained that he was “really upset, and I still am, obviously,” over the whole ordeal.
“I did, and I do apologize to Governor Palin for this mistake,” insisted Bennet.
