As Fox News reported:

“U.S. Senate candidate Loretta Sanchez apologized Sunday after a videotape of her making a racially offensive gesture surfaced Saturday.”

“Speaking to delegates at a state Democratic convention Sunday, the 10-term lawmaker said she said something offensive “and for that I sincerely apologize.””

“The video, which was shared on social media, shows Sanchez tapping her hand over her open mouth and making a whooping sound while speaking to a group of delegates Saturday.”
