FRESNO, Calif. — The Fresno Grizzlies minor league baseball team is apologizing to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for "some misleading and offensive editing" that was seen during a video played at the team's stadium Monday.
A video was played during the team's doubleheader on Monday, and it was supposed to be a "moving tribute" as part of a Memorial Day video.
According to reports, during the video, the voice of President Ronald Reagan mentioned "enemies of freedom." It apparently showed a picture of New York Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez spliced between pictures of North Korea's Kim Jong-un and ex-Cuban president Fidel Castro.
The Grizzlies tweeted apologies, saying, "We're embarrassed we allowed this video to play without seeing it in its entirety first. We unconditionally apologize to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in addition to our fans, community and those we hurt."
