Greta Van Susteren Uses Al Franken Scandal to Promote Her App for Judging Public Apologies
Senator Al Franken is facing major backlash over the story about his inappropriate behavior several years ago, and Greta Van Susteren reminded Twitter that now’s as good a time as any to try out her new app.
Last week, the former news anchor released Sorry, an app that allows people to decide whether to accept or reject apologies on social media. The app can be used for a person’s individual social network, but as Van Susteren said, Franken can use it to apologize for his conduct and see how many people are willing to forgive him.
Now @alfranken needs to go on his phone to the App Store, download my new THE SORRY APP and use it ….well? pic.twitter.com/PJgSLKgy2U

The Tweet has been deleted, but here’s what it looked like:
Van Susteren continued to engage Twitter users and talk about how her app will help read the country’s mood on whether to accept any apology from Franken:
Let’s hear his apology…maybe it is genuine…on The Sorry App we can all vote ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ after hearing directly from the person https://t.co/651pyB90v4

I think we should at least hear from him…and that is true whether D or R https://t.co/WIhUXKvr2g

She also defended herself from critics who clearly was not impressed with her taking the opportunity to plug her app:
Not a stupid time to be alive…many people doing many good things around USA and the world..many helping others and also many innovative things being done https://t.co/QUUUGUh3Pw

How do you really feel about it? :) don’t worry, no one is going to tie you up and force you to apologize :). https://t.co/fmF6BBT4wA

Of course, if one were to look at the reactions people are sharing on Twitter, it seems America is in no mood to accept Franken’s apology any time soon.
