Jay Jones is a psychopath

Jay Jones is a representative of the Democratic Party of the United States who is a candidate for the position of Attorney General. Some time ago quite a controversy arose when text messages he had sent to a colleague surfaced, which directly and unambiguously wished violence and death against the children of Republicans. The text messages have been corroborated as genuine, including by Jay Jones himself, so they indeed happened and are real.

As I have come to conclude, all American far-leftists are psychopaths, and Jay Jones is no exception. He has absolutely no empathy and no value for human life. Not only does he fantasize about the murder of the children of people he doesn't like, but he's so consumed by it that he openly told about it to a colleague.

Recently he was interviewed on a news channel owned by ABC, and he was asked about those text messages. His response:

"Well, again, I so deeply, deeply sorry for what I said, and I wish it hadn't happened, and I would take it back if I could."

At face value this seems like a valid apology (genuine or fake, but still a bona fide apology).

Except that it actually isn't. Notice what he is actually saying there and, most particularly, what he is not saying there.

He is sorry that he "said it" and that "it happened", and he wishes he had never sent those text messages.

What he is quite prominently not saying is that it was wrong. That the sentiment is wrong and abhorrent, that what he expressed is wrong. He is not admitting guilt. He is merely sorry for having slipped up and sent those messages. He is not sorry about the contents of those messages. He is not saying that they were wrong and bad.

Yes, sure, if he were explicitly asked if what he said is wrong he would quite obviously say yes. However, I find it interesting that when he wasn't explicitly asked, he didn't willingly come out and say it. Deliberately or subconsciously, he spouted platitudes without actually admitting guilt. I believe this is a kind of "Freudian slip" where he is inadvertently and accidentally expressing what he truly feels: In other words, he only regrets that he sent the messages, he doesn't regret what he said in them nor considers it wrong and abhorrent.
