It’s difficult for politicians, who often find themselves in the public’s eye, to say “I’m sorry.” “It’s hard for anybody to apologize,” said Frank Farley, a faculty member at Temple’s College of Education. “But for a politician, it’s a gamble. If it goes wrong, it may show weakness.” Farley said politicians have to calculate whether an apology could “come back to bite them.”
