Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen is trotting back after getting into a heated exchange with Bernie Sanders' campaign co-chair Nina Turner on a Thursday episode of CNN's Cuomo Prime Time. 

Apologizing on Twitter on Friday, Rosen said she is sorry for telling Turner she doesn't have the standing to use the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. against Joe Biden.

"On air Thursday I said my colleague Nina Turner didn’t have standing to use MLK Jr. That was wrong," Rosen wrote in a now-deleted tweet, NBC News reports. "I am sorry for saying those words. Please no need to defend me and attack angry Black women. They have standing. I always need to listen more than I talk. We rise together."

During CNN's Cuomo Prime Time, the panel was discussing the voting records of Biden and Sanders when Rosen said, "Nina referenced Dr. Martin Luther King before, saying that he said from the Birmingham jail that we should be concerned about white moderates. That's actually not what Martin Luther King said."

"He did say that… Are you kidding me?" Turner responded.

Rosen then claimed that Dr. King said America should be worried about the silence of white moderates.

"What he said was we should worry about the silence of white moderates," Rosen said. "And what we have in Joe Biden is a man who is not silent."

"He has a long record, and many votes that in today's world feel like the wrong thing, were the wrong thing, and he has discussed that over and over again," she continued. "As Bernie Sanders did on the gun votes and other things."

Turner then offered up a lecture for the white Democratic strategist.

"What Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was talking about, he said it is the point that the white moderate wants things to be comfortable," Turner said. "And instead of focusing in on the bigger threat, it's not necessarily the white KKK member, but more the white moderate that is more comfortable with keeping things the same and pretending like there is no tension."

That's when Rosen interrupted and said "Don't use Martin Luther King against Joe Biden. You don't have that standing."

Turner then made apparent to Rosen her audaciousness for telling her, a Black woman, she's misquoting the pivotal civil rights leader. 

"Don't tell me what kind of standing I have as a Black woman in America. How dare you?" Turner retorted. "Don't dip into what I have to say about the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. How dare you, as a white woman, sit up here and try and tell me what I'm supposed to feel and what I'm doing right now."

In his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," Dr. King said, "First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate."

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action,'" Dr. King wrote. 

Turner responded to Rosen's tone-deaf Twitter apology on Friday. 

"You know Hilary, you didn’t just talk over me. Go back & watch the segment. You said among other things that I did not have standing. Wrap your mind around that," Turner wrote. "The Rev. Dr. MLK I speak of challenged the status quo. He spoke out against militarism, materialism, poverty & racism."

For many social media users, Rosen's apology only made matters worse, and many called her out for using the phrase "angry Black women" in her tweet. 

"'Angry black women'. This is at least as racist as telling a black woman she doesn't have any standing to talk about MLK," Washington Post opinion writer Holly Figueroa O'Reilly said. "I say this as a Biden supporter who is embarrassed by your white feminism: Hillary Rosen, this is a terrible apology. Do better."

It’s like a bad SNL skit. Every apology for doing a racism contains another racism. Hilary Rosen’s apologies are Racism Russian Dolls. pic.twitter.com/8Pbo7hQP3e

After deleting the apology, Rosen then clarified her intentions with her message. 

"I’m horrified that anyone would think i would call Nina Turner 'an angry black woman' I would NEVER!! After the TV hit last night, I was getting tons of ugly messages to keep fighting her using that phrase," Rosen wrote in her second attempt to set the record straight. "I was trying to tell people to STOP. Cause I KNEW I needed to apologize.

"I unequivocally know I disrespected her and I wanted to make it right by telling disgusting white folks to stop. Wow did that tweet go wrong," Rosen added. "I am so sorry."

She then said she called Turner to apologize. 

It's unclear if Ms. Turner has decided to take her call.
