The editor of Scientific American is facing calls for her resignation after issuing an apology for her anti-Trump rant on social media. Laura Helmuth, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, described Trump supporters as fascists, racists, and sexists in now-deleted posts. Helmuth has since apologized, claiming that her comments were a mistaken expression of shock and confusion. The magazine has faced criticism for its progressive agenda and endorsements of Democratic candidates.
