Jenna Fischer, the acclaimed actress famous for portraying Pam Beesly on the hit NBC sitcom The Office, is receiving praise for a classy apology for a tweet about Republican tax cuts.
"I can't stop thinking about how school teachers can no longer deduct the cost of their classroom supplies on their taxes...something they shouldn't have to pay for with their own money in the first place. I mean, imagine if nurses had to go buy their own syringes," Fischer tweeted.
The deduction was added back during last minute changes to the secretly drafted bill. Conservatives lashed out at Fischer for criticizing a section removed from the final bill.
On Christmas Day, Fischer posted a correction.
Wednesday, the Emmy Award nominee, offered a more detailed apology while announcing she'd deleted the inaccurate tweet.
Fischer was widely praised for the integrity of her retraction and apology note.
