Earlier this month, Senator Elizabeth Warren posted a rant on Facebook that confused a lot of people: not because she excoriated a hedge-fund manager—that’s pretty much her M.O.—but because the hedge-fund manager in question, Whitney Tilson, is a huge supporter of Warren and her regulatory policies. Then, when it was brought to Warren’s attention that the same guy she suggested was thrilled about the “bonanza” he can expect under Donald Trump had, in fact, called the president-elect “a monster” with “no coherent ideas or policies” and that Tilson himself agrees with her “100 percent that large swaths of the financial industry have run amok,” she doubled down, dispatching an aide to inform Tilson that she wasn’t sorry. The post, which the hedge-fund manager understandably wished would come down, remained on her page, save for a small edit to reflect that Tilson is not actually “a billionaire” (not even close).

As Andrew Ross Sorkin pointed out in a column examining the whole perplexing affair, the incident wasn’t a good look for Warren. Misreading an article, rushing to rant online, and then doubling down in the face of criticism—all brought to mind to Trump himself, and not in the way Warren had intended.

But lo! It turns out that we can put Warren back in the column of good politicians, because she’s thought about it and decided to do something that Trump would never, not ever—not if the fate of his pink marble monstrosity on 5th Ave rested on it—do: apologize.

“I think I took it too far,” she told the Boston Globe yesterday. “There are many things I agree with Whitney on, and I wish my tone had been less heated.” She’s taken the post down, while certain president-elect’s tweets trashing everything from a union leader to a beauty queen to a humble magazine remain. All is forgiven.
