(51,571 posts)Did he apologize to Jacobs for not only assaulting him without provocation, but also defaming Jacobs in that craven statement to the press that it was Jacobs who attacked him and not the other way around?
I hope Jacobs sues the shit out of him.

(51,129 posts)Pesky tape made their narrative false. They just start over, redefining reality anew, "That wasn't me, I'm not like that, I'm great and good." And the dog whistle "that reporter" of course alludes to Ben Jacobs' religious and political preferences. He just had to dog whistle Ben Jacobs a few times before finally saying his name.

(6,044 posts)in an attempt to save his public image.
Damni Mathers, playboy model who body-shamed 70 year old woman by posting a nude picture she took of the woman at a gym, used the same phrase after she was busted.
Many others have also used the phrase. It must be the standard advice of paid reputation managers.
It signals that the perpetrator is mainly concerned about his own public image, the the harm he or she has done.
