He should apologize privately to anyone who thinks that he hurt them. If he apologizes publicly to everyone who thinks he hurt them, he can be accused of not being sufficiently contrite. Most of the people who will evaluate his public apologies are not the people he is apologizing to, and they will never forgive him on behalf of whoever they think he harmed. And not even that they think anyone was harmed because their objective is not that people can forgive him but because they don’t want him to be forgiven. They prefer that he be dead but in the absence of his death they will accept that he is not confirmed as long as he also doesn’t have a job or an income.
Excellent points. He can privately apologize, and say, “hey, I already apologized to all these girls. Are you going to start stalking them now to get statements?” And he can make a clean breast of it without naming names or specifying acts with too much detail. That would work to get him confirmed.
Pffft. By the same token, if you should ever be menaced by a pack of rabid, baying hounds, I suggest that you toss them some raw steak. It’ll calm them right down
