One punctuation mark could change the meaning of your comment.

Not sure how she said he was racist.
Not sure how; she said he was racist.

Badenoch then asked for forgiveness, essentially urging people to move on with no action taken. I class that as making a pig's ear of addressing the matter.

As for the punctuation thing VeritasVincit, perhaps a full stop would suffice.
