'I'm sorry': Vox's Aaron Rupar publicly apologizes to Greg Gutfeld for falsely smearing him as a racist

Well, here’s something you don’t see every day. No, seriously. A Vox writer known for deception admitting he screwed up.

Aaron Rupar has apologized to Greg Gutfeld for falsely smearing him as a racist following Gutfeld’s recent appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show:

While watching Tucker Carlson's show on Tuesday I posted a tweet in which I quoted @greggutfeld remarks I misheard & falsely attributed a racially charged comment to him. I deleted it as soon as I became aware of my error, but I also want to publicly apologize to Greg. I'm sorry.
