That looks like a calculated non-apology. An actual apology probably doesn't exist. He said "I'm sorry if anyone was offended". He placed the blame on the reaction that others had to his abhorrent statements, not on his actions themselves. He didn't seem to care that he was in the wrong, only that the reaction from the people was politically inconvenient for him.
