I think there was a time when he could have apologized for a dumb mistake and everyone would have moved on. It is world news now because HE chose another and unfortunate path - which probably has no route back to the sunlit lands.

As I said in another reply, there was never any chance of this guy apologizing.

If anyone expected a (real) apology they don’t much about him.
