Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is reportedly reconsidering the resignation of Shirley Sherrod, after it became clear that Andrew Breitbart’s edited video was a complete sham intended to smear an innocent person for purposes of race-baiting: Vilsack, USDA to reconsider employee ouster.

Vilsack’s statement came after the NAACP posted the full video of Sherrod’s comments Tuesday night.

“I am of course willing and will conduct a thorough review and consider additional facts to ensure to the American people we are providing services in a fair and equitable manner,” Vilsack said.

The Obama administration’s move to reconsider her employment was an absolute reversal from hours earlier, when a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said President Barack Obama had been briefed on Sherrod’s resignation after the fact and stood by the Agriculture Department’s handling of it.
