He's playing his part. You can't tell normie faggots he jerked off kids. Go forbid some truth trickle out so people can check themselves and the ignorance we all wallow in.
So he has to pretend to be indignant.
Pretend to keep making the same mistakes.
Pretend to not want to apologize.
Come on, empty apologies are as common as "God Bless you" and "For America" with these people.
So, you force him into a scenario that casts him into a bad light for even the most normal normie and create this idea in peoples heads to plan seeds.
