He "reached out" because he wants to run a more "sensitive" campaign. (end/ sarcasm)

If he "reached out," it's because he's a damned fool. What's he gonna say to these guys? "Can't we all just get along?"

My guess is that he did try to "apologize," but it probably wasn't sincere, and it's way too late for that anyway.
