## Transcript

I think people in America are very forgiving. And also I think im my own defense, if you put 30 years of what i've done and accomplished on behalf of breaking down stereotypes and walls between people and hatred, and you put it on a scale, say five tweets. It may have got five but let it go head an be four. [ LAUGH ] I think the balance is more toward the good. And- But let's speak about one thing Roseann. Yeah .

>> You've repeatedly said that you still accept that what you wrote was wrong regardless of how it was perceived. I say it was awkwardly constructed, very awkwardly constructed, and I'm sorry that it was totally misunderstood. Can you apologize about the retirement? Yeah. Okay.
