Isa Cayahuga has released an apology video. I think it’s safe to say those few minutes of attention-seeking weren’t worth it. I understand the instinct to question her sincerity. Frankly, after what she did, it’s hard not to scoff at the apology. But I also think we should be careful not to behave like the Left at its worst, where an apology is never enough and nobody is allowed to change. She’s young. What she did was cruel, stupid, and disturbing. But she’s apologizing, and I think we should give her the benefit of the doubt. That doesn’t mean blindly believing her. It means giving her the opportunity to prove she means it. She claims to be a Christian. I hope she takes those values seriously. And I hope the next time she’s around people celebrating political violence, she has the courage to challenge them rather than join in. Because that’s where we’ll see whether she’s actually learned anything. I want to believe she’s sincere. I think Charlie Kirk would have given her that chance, too. Time and behavior will tell us far more than an apology video ever could.
