HAHAHA!
Now that the show is over, he’s talking about those likes that got everyone so mad:

And his soon-to-be wife said she doesn’t “condone” his past likes:

But that’s not good enough for the mob! ATTACK:
TO BE CLEAR: A pre-planned apology is not enough to totally change my mind about a person who thought these posts were funny. But I also would love to believe that a person can learn and do better. That requires ACTION though, not just words on a show. https://t.co/9WV0dxFoFy

but goddamn those were some heinous likes.

So, what “ACTION” do they want? Stay tuned…
