While the man is unquestionably a shithead, at least it was an actual apology (sincere or not) rather than one of those notpology “I am sorry if any of you snowflakes were offended by my sincerely held beliefs,” although I suspect that was what he meant to say.

If you go out of your way to call a teenager a “skinhead lesbian” … are you ever really sorry you said it?

Is he still running unopposed, and doesn’t mean that he’ll get the seat by default even if he’s a complete and utter tool?

“Moonbat”? Do people still call liberals that, or is he just being a quaint and olden “wingnut”?

There’s a pro-gay-rights group within the party called the “Log Cabin Republicans” but they’ve been about as influential as those supposed Black Confederate Soldiers that racists made up to prove they aren’t racist.

Ok, so the guy is… well you know. deplorable
As online apologies go, that’s actually not a bad one. The sincerity may be manufactured but it’s far from the worst apology I’ve read. I for one hope more reconciliations could include offers of understanding and friendship.
