"The Young Turks" co-host Ana Kasparian apologized to her far-left audience overnight for giving air time to the discredited Democratic activist and Ron DeSantis critic, Rebekah Jones.
"The only person that should be held responsible for that is me. I'm the executive producer of the show and I screwed up royally," Kasparian admitted.
Jones is a former Florida Department of Health data analyst who received widespread media attention during the COVID-19 pandemic when she accused the DeSantis administration of urging her to alter the state's coronavirus data. A state inspector general later determined her claims to be false. More recently, the Democratic activist falsely accused DeSantis of ordering her son's arrest.
On Thursday, Kasparian corrected her show's past reporting and offered an apology.

"Part of the reason why I screwed up is because I had all these biases of course, against Ron DeSantis," Kasparian said.
She said she didn't feel bad about having a prejudice against DeSantis but admitted it became a problem in this case because it "blinded" her to the facts.
"I should've done my due diligence and I failed to do so. By failing to do so, I feel like I misled the audience into thinking that Rebekah Jones is some sort of hero," Kasparian confessed.
