Texas Deputy AG apologizes for calling Simone Biles a ‘national embarrassment’
NY Post
Texas Deputy Attorney General Aaron Reitz is apologizing for calling Simone Biles a “national embarrassment” following her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health.
In a since-deleted tweet, Reitz on Tuesday called the four-time Olympic gold medalist a “selfish, childish national embarrassment” while retweeting video of former US Olympian Kerri Strug competing at the 1996 games in Atlanta with a severely injured ankle. “In a moment of frustration and disappointment, I opined on subjects for which I am not adequately versed,” Reitz later said in a statement Wednesday. “That was an error. I can’t imagine what Simone Biles is going through.”
