So @MarkHalperin is sorry about poor tone & timing and sorry if anyone was offended. How about I WAS WRONG! https://t.co/jbApjqh29Y

@MarkHalperin "I apologize to those who were offended." #copout

@MarkHalperin An apology usually includes some genuine expression of contrition. "I apologize to those who were offended" is crap.

Shorter @MarkHalperin: "I apologize if you were offended." Not an apology. Saying, "I was was wrong and I apologize" is an apology.

I apologize on some obscure publishing platform to those who might have been offended. HIGH FIVE. https://t.co/1K1Ivfyay2

@hotairblog What a flaccid "apology". A REAL apology is "I'm sorry I said such an insulting, racist, stupid thing." @MarkHalperin

@MarkHalperin I don't think "rushing through the questions" was your problem….

@MarkHalperin In other words "Im sorry for showing my biased reporting. I try to blend in w/other biased reporters but this was too obvious"

@MarkHalperin so asking cruz to welcome sanders "en espanol" is ok if the tone is right?

@MarkHalperin are you sad about what you did, or sad that you were called out by your own side you thought would support you? @GayPatriot

I like how you "apologize" by not admitting what you actually did which was so obvious even ThinkProgress panned it. https://t.co/Lb3MGURPrf
