While I was not in attendance, it is my understanding from those who did attend that Ms. Lazare made statements but I guess that ACL is not different from our current White House: 

 

“As you know, Principal Deputy Administrator Mary Lazare spoke on July 11 at two events. We know portions of her remarks caused concerns, which we are happy to address. I want to assure you that she did not state, or intend to express, the opinions referenced in your letter,” Robertson wrote. 

 

Shouldn’t they just admit what she did, take corrective action and move on – not try to cover it up?
