Fox News reports that on Thursday’s broadcast, Griffin stated that DeSantis was trying to erase Black history for his opposition to an AP African American Studies course that had previously been offered in Florida. However, DeSantis says that the curriculum offered in these courses had a “political agenda,” which is why he has banned it in the state.
The comments by Farah Griffin received a lot of backlash for her comments, and Fox News even ran a story about some of the backlash she received for her misguided comments. After that happened, this made her aware that she had made some incorrect claims. It seems like it was enough to have shaken her up to realize that she needed to issue an apology.

She wrote the following on Twitter: “Sooo I got tripped up on a point re: DeSantis/ AP black history on air & accidentally misrepresented what the Governor is challenging,” and “It’s more narrow than how I framed it, & while I still personally disagree, I own that I explained it wrong.”

The press secretary followed up his tweet by saying: “Nonetheless, thank you @Alyssafarah for correcting the record and speaking up for the truth.”
The host apologized on Twitter but made no on-air comment about her apparent mistake. Some people might not even have known that she issued an apology if they didn’t happen to be on Twitter and following the host. Therefore, some say this seems like a shallow apology because a small group will only see it as people. Those individuals have self-selected to follow the host, a small group indeed.
