Yup. Once you apologize and cave you lose all power.
I don't know if you lose all power because you make an appropriate statement that includes an apology to anyone who was harmed by her actions or words. I'm just saying she should have made a definitive statement and moved on, not tried to justify or excuse anything.
She is who she is, and she's responsible for everything that she did in her past, right? She should have just owned it and stood her ground. The hypocritical bigots out there were going to cancel her one way or the other anyway.
