"In that circumstance, a man of character accepts accountability. I take responsibility for this mistake. I apologize."

The statement continued: "I want to be very clear: the words I read aloud from that screen were not my words. What I said was not malicious; it wasn't even intentional.

"Still, I am mature enough to know that the word I said was shameful and hurtful, no matter my intentions."
