> He could easily have deflated the controversy if he apologized
That's all you guys want. Apologies. Apologies for something one believes didn't do.
Would you apologize if I thought you were racist? You're not racist, right? So apologize for me thinking you are. Also explain to me how you're not racist.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here, I think the guy's a tool.
That’s not a denial, a denial would be “no I didn’t do a Nazi salute.” He has never said that, and you’re conveniently ignoring the speech he gave to white nationalists a week later.
If I said the n word, you would have a reason to believe I’m racist and I would apologize for using a word that is unambiguously associated with racists, even if I’m not a racist.
