As somebody with experience being on tour and playing shows every night and having a mic in front of you. Maybe a little toasted on stage as well. You tend to say things that you normally wouldn't. High energy, adrenaline, trying to keep the crowd entertained and think on your toes. You can say things right as they come to you without full consideration.
My guess is, that this will be the outcome of all of this. An apology along the lines of what you just mentioned, and a "back to reality call". At least I hope so
He already apologized and said he was wrong to say it.
That sounds like the wisest approach to this.
KG should not have apologized.
Apologies are designed for human beings and entities capable of experiencing empathy. Conservatives are not able to process the concept of an apology. They are just as unable to recognize apologies as they are unable to issue them.
I don't think he's apologizing for the conservatives.
Wrong to say it publicly, but not wrong to think it.
