(23,385 posts)"I deeply regret that my insensitive, emotional emails would cause embarrassment to the DNC, the chairwoman, and all of the staffers who worked hard to make the primary a fair and open process."
He doesn't state that he disavows the content of the emails; he states that he regrets that others had a certain reaction to them. This, to me, seems akin to "I'm sorry you're offended."
"The comments expressed do not reflect my beliefs nor do they reflect the beliefs of the DNC and its employees. I apologize to those I offended."
What are "the comments expressed?" By whom? By him? Why does he not assume ownership of "the comments?" I would have understood "my comments in my insensitive, emotional emails do not reflect my beliefs..."
Of course, he doesn't owe it to me to write or not write any particular thing. I'm simply stating how what he wrote occurred to me.
