(AP Photo\/Pamela Smith)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I don&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t know how many of you were in the courtroom and heard what I had to say in the courtroom, but I&#8217;ll reiterate that and say this to you. Many of you have probably been covering me for a lot of my life. And as you may know, I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself. And this was not that. I found myself in a position where I could have made a different decision, but I&#8217;ve had some time to reflect on that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I also understand by, you know, the fact that all of you are here, that I have a platform, you have a platform, we share that platform. And so what I like to say to everyone watching and listening, even if you&#8217;ve had one drink, don&#8217;t get behind the wheel of a car. There&#8217;s so many alternatives. Call a friend. Take an Uber. There&#8217;s many travel apps \u2026 take a taxi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/apps-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
