Trans Activist Apologizes for Going Topless At White House

Transgender influencer and activist Rose Montoya issued an apology on Friday after facing widespread backlash when she removed her top during a Pride celebration on the White House lawn.

"Today I need to apologize," Montoya started the video, which she posted on Instagram on Friday afternoon.

Montoya's apology came several days after she defended her actions during last Saturday's Pride Month celebration at the White House, specifically when she posted a video of herself on the White House lawn while topless and using her hands to cover her breasts.
