"I made a mistake and should not have retweeted that article," Wilson said in an email. "I sincerely apologized. I was just so focused on the neocons lust for war: 'If you liked the Iraq war, you’ll love an Iranian one.'"

She continued:

"On a personal note, one should not tweet while moving, 8 workmen are in a small space, the dog is going nuts, and kids are texting one asking for things they forgot for school. Social media very unforgiving.

I feel badly and will gladly shake the hand of anyone who has never made a mistake."

Wilson declined to say whether she would continue raising money to purchase Twitter so she could boot President Donald Trump from the platform.
