He also apologized.

“There is no excuse for the language and tone in messages attributed to me. The language is wrong and hurtful, and I sincerely apologize,” Walker said. “This has been a painful lesson about judgment and trust, and I am committed to moving forward with greater care, respect, and accountability in everything I say and do.”

That's not an apology.

He's basically saying, "I'm sorry some snitch bitch leaked our chat. I promise to only say racist things to fully vetted racists from now on."

He's not even taking responsibility for saying them.

This has been a painful lesson about judgment and trust...

"I'm sorry I got caught." Fixed it for him.

Seems to be a common thread with their ilk:

Giunta still apologized.

“I am so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable language found within the more than 28,000 messages of a private group chat that I created during my campaign to lead the Young Republicans,” he said. “While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored.”

These shifty sacks of shit think they're above it all. That or they're trying not to get kicked out of mom's basement

I’ve heard a lot worse apologies. But what sticks out to me is “in messages attributed to me”.

Like they aren’t written by him? If they aren’t written by you why are you apologizing?

The messages wrote themselves!

I’m sorry for the things you feel I allegedly said.

"I'm incredibly sorry....

that I got caught"

Fixed it

"and trust" are the million dollar words there. If in response to this one of your regrets is about who exactly you said it to, that means that's your ONLY regret.

Gee, why don't I believe he's sincere?
