They say that karma is a female dog. What goes around, yadda yadda.
A San Francisco school board member Alison Collins attacked former President Donald Trump in an apology letter as she faces increasing backlash over her anti-Asian tweets she posted in 2016.
Her tweets surfaced last week in which she described Asians as "house [N-word]" and accused them of using "white supremacist thinking" to get ahead. Collins is facing a recall effort and finally apologized on Medium while repeatedly calling out Trump for allegedly fueling societal racism.

"A number of tweets and social media posts I made in 2016 have recently been highlighted," she claimed.
"They have been taken out of context, both of that specific moment and the nuance of the conversation that took place. President Donald Trump had just won an election fueled by division, racism and an anti-immigration agenda. Meanwhile one of my daughters had recently experienced an incident in her school in which her Asian American peers were taunting her Latinx (?) classmate about 'sending kids back to Mexico' and the KKK. It was a time of processing, of fear among many communities with the unknown of how the next four years would unfold," Collins claimed without showing proof of her allegation.
So no matter what is wrong in the world, the left will always find a way, no matter the lengths they must go in their verbal calisthenics to get there, to blame Donald Trump. It's like Trump is the ruler of the universe, but then they try to tell us how dumb he is.
"And here we are today. Anti-Asian racism is not new, but the recent uptick in violence and bigotry against Asian-Americans is clearly connected to Trump and his racist tropes," she said.
She has no evidence that anti-Asian behavior is motivated by Trump nor does she point out that the preponderance of anti-Asian behavior is being committed disproportionately by Black men.
Collins added: "But whether my tweets are being taken out of context or not, only one thing matters right now. And that is the pain our Asian American brothers and sisters and siblings are experiencing. Words have meaning and impact. Trump showed us that clearly with his sowing of hate and pitting communities of color against one another for political gain. I acknowledge that right now, in this moment my words taken out of context can be causing more pain for those who are already suffering. For the pain my words may have caused I am sorry, and I apologize unreservedly."
Neat way to distance herself from what she did and shamelessly blame Trump for it.
All of the school district's top 19 administrators condemned Collins' tweets in a letter Sunday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"As public servants, we work for the Board of Education through the superintendent, but we serve the students and families of San Francisco," said the administrators.
"Although we believe it would be inappropriate for us to call for the resignation of an elected official who is part of the governing body of our district, our silence should not be interpreted as complicity or approval. We condemn Vice President Collins' statements in the strongest possible terms."
Top city officials, including Mayor London Breed, called for her resignation.
School board member Jenny Lam reportedly declared Collins' post as a "non-apology" and said Collins didn't take responsibility for her words.
Of course not--she "did a Fredo" and put the blame on Trump.
