CNN's Toobin 'regrets' his role in pushing Clinton 'false equivalency'

CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin now says he regrets his role in pushing a “false equivalency” between Hillary Clinton's scandals and President Trump's own problems during the 2016 election.

In an interview on Larry Wilmore’s “Black on the Air” podcast published earlier this month, Toobin told Wilmore that he feels he is “somewhat responsible” for a media climate that falsely compared Clinton and Trump.

as long as it is sincere we should be kind to him. At least he is feeling remorse and that's a plus.
