[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that the last names are so similar I just assumed that his phone (it’s a text, right?) when he (or whoever on his team sends the texts) started typing the last name it pops up a suggestion and he kept going.

Hasn’t anyone started typing an email or text and if the last name is close to another one and the autocorrect or whatever assumes the wrong name and you accidentally email or text the wrong person?  Yes, it happens to me every now and then (including yesterday).

My first thought wasn’t he just think every black woman looks a like.  I assumed it was a typo glitch that when they pressed send it was too late to fix. The deep dive into this seems like immediate overkill. [/quote]

How did a sane person like you find your way into this thread?  I have definitely done this, both in text and email.  Embarrassing, but it happens.[/quote]

Except that Youngkin has already admitted this is not what happened.  You are pp are literally inventing alternative facts to avoid acknowledging what actually happened. That you feel the need to do this implicitly concedes that what he actually did was bad. [/quote]

Here's what actually happened.  Youngkin mistakenly sent a congratulatory text to Lucas, mistaking her for Locke.  Lucas texted back, letting him know he had the wrong person.  He very graciously apologized to her - immediately.

[i]When Lucas responded privately to Youngkin's text message earlier in the week informing him of the mistaken identity, Youngkin responded with an apology, according to the Post: “Goodness … so sorry about the confusion,” he wrote in a text response. “I will send her a note. Thanks for the note back!”[/i]

For normal people, that would have been the end of it.  Instead, she couldn't resist a good gotcha moment, and extremely tackily decided to make the exchange public in a snarky tweet.  He made a human mistake and apologized for it.  She took it way too far and made an ass out of herself.  But now we all know what kind of person she is.  [/quote]
