But I also think that, you know, you shouldn't proffer a false apology. You should apologize for things that you did wrong, you know, and I didn't do anything wrong there, and I wasn't attacking anybody."
"I wasn't attacking Israel. I wasn't attacking. I was merely saying, In my capacity as someone with strong opinions, I think this is an unwise course. And I still think that. It's not an attack on Trump, who I voted for and campaigned for and really like. It's my view and so that's not something I would apologize for because it wasn't wrong, it was my duty, and I still believe it."
"You know, I will just be totally honest with you and say I'm kind of an unpleasant person when I get mad, and like if I'm ever rude, which I often have been to people, that is worth apologizing for, and I'm sorry. I want to pre-emptively apologize for being a jerk because I often am."
