In the current climate, has any apology ever helped?

I do not understand why anyone would apologize. Stand your ground. Be a man. You face consequences either way, so at least have the guts to own it.

no guilt + no self-doubt + no self-hatred = no apologies

Never forget. The vile people who control Disney/ABC are enemies of the American people. They must be brought to justice and pay for their crimes.

Apologize vs. Agree and Amplify (what Rush called demonstrating absurdity by being absurd). Granted, that tv series is already so absurd that I’m not sure there’s much room left under the curve.

Apologies are blood in the water for the Left.

I hate that show, anyways, both Bachelor and Bachelorette.

They trivialize personal relationships to a TV game show level.

They are obviously scripted and not very well.

They are nothing but air time fillers..................

I agree that the apology is likely going to be fruitless. It’s easy to criticize from the comfort of an anonymous political chat forum the actions of someone trying to save the career they use to feed their family.

If you work in the entertainment business, it’s simply not possible to remain gainfully employed and at the same time, espouse ANY opinions that don’t fully comport with the established progressive orthodoxy. I suspect Harrison knew he was one at the Bachelor but was thinking about his ability to get his next gig. Without that self-flagellating apology, that next gig would have been an impossibility.

The Red Scare blacklist of the middle part of last century PALES in comparison to what is going on today.

Guy was in a really tough position -- even his girlfriend came out and trashed him publicly. All because he had the temerity to call out the "Woke Police" by actual name.

My guess is that once he realizes he's on the outs for good rather than just one season, he'll end up doing the conservative talk circuit and telling his story without apology.

The existence of “the Bachelor” and “the Bachelorette” is a much greater threat to our people than any racism.

The bulk of the audience are middle-aged married women wishing they could have a do-over. The show is completely scripted and thus relatively harmless compared to the damage done by dating sites like Tinder.

It's not harmless to those women's marriages, and it's not harmless to young men and women who get the idea is that "this is how it's done".

Never, ever, ever apologize to the Left. It never works, and only emboldens them.
