Axios reporter Alexi McCammond, who on Wednesday made public inappropriate comments said to her by former NBA star Charles Barkley, has apologized for inappropriate tweets she wrote nearly a decade ago.
“Today I was reminded of some past insensitive tweets, and I am deeply sorry to anyone I offended. I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my views or who I am today,” McCammond tweeted Wednesday afternoon.
In the tweets, written in late 2011 and early 2012 when McCammond was a freshman in college, McCammond made disparaging jokes about Asians. They have been deleted, but screenshots can be seen here.
