Ariana Grande Issues Another Apology for Donut Licking, America Bashing Incident

After video was released by TMZ showing Ariana Grande licking a donut at Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California and saying that she hates America, the entertainer quickly went on damage control and issued an apology where she professed her love for the country and how proud she was to be an American.

The apology was called a “non-apology” by some because it ended with “… let me once again apologize if I offended anyone with my poor choice of words.” She then went on Twitter to clean that up as well. “need to clean up this mouth of mine” she said in the tweet. “always learning.”

But for some, the damage was already done, which may explain why Ariana felt the need to go on video this time for yet another apology.

Nikki Haley announced that she will call for the Confederate flag to be removed on June 22, 2015 in Columbia, South Carolina.

In 1961, the confederate flag was raised over South Carolina’s capitol in support of segregation and to protest integration. In the year 2000, it was moved to a flagpole in front of the Statehouse. Today, some 54 years after the flag was raised, it came down and ushered away to a nearby museum.

At an event attended by thousands chanting “USA, USA” and “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye,” the state’s Highway Patrol honor guards brought the divisive flag down at 10:33AM on Friday. The pole will also be removed at a later date.
