KFI Los Angeles conservative talker Bill Handel has apologized for calling congresswoman Frederica Wilson a whore on his show two weeks ago. L.A. Weekly reports that Handel made the apology in a prerecorded message. Political commentator Janmyne Cannick, who’s been pressuring iHeart about the comment, archived the clip.
Cannick was not impressed by the apology and is not backing down, telling the paper, “A prerecorded apology two weeks after the fact and played while Handel is on his way across country to be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame is seen for what it is — the least that Handel, KFI, and iHeartMedia was willing to do. This is 2017 — rehab, sensitivity training, and carefully written apologies way after the fact simply don’t cut it today.”
