This is how one apologizes. Clumsy and thoughtless words need not result in firing when the president says something like he did today. Here is the quote
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Last week while I was on my way to Texas, a private email conversation of mine from April was made public. I didn’t give it the consideration it warranted.
That was a big mistake. I was wrong. I apologize.
When I started this interim position in February, it was never my intent to have an adversarial relationship with some of the survivors.
My speculation about the lead plaintiff receiving kickbacks or referral fees hurt her deeply and for that I am truly sorry. She and the other survivors suffered greatly and they are entitled not to have their sincerity questioned, either individually or as a group. I apologize to her and her sister survivors
