I don't know why he bothered with the press conference. He first apologizes, then he says he didn't have any regrets about his action. He sounds like John Kerry about it.
He never claimed the Italian guy said terrorist. That was a British "lip reader" claiming she could lip read spoken Italian off profile angle video. IOW, BS.
Looks near certain he said something about the guy's sister.
Guess the Clinton/Chiraq opinion research poll said it wasn't playing well.
