Meghan McCain has apologized for her role in spreading anti-Asian sentiment on The View after being called out for hypocrisy on John Olivers Last Week Tonight.
I condemn the reprehensible violence and vitriol that has been targeted towards the Asian-American community, McCain tweeted Monday. There is no doubt Donald Trumps racist rhetoric fueled many of these attacks and I apologize for any past comments that aided that agenda.

McCain was not on Mondays episode of The View, Deadline reported.
On Sunday night, Oliver dedicated a segment of his HBO show to Americas ingrained hatred and violence toward Asian Americans in the wake of last weeks massage spa shootings in Atlanta that killed eight people, six of them Asian women.

I believe John Oliver spelled them out for you, so why not apologize for what you specifically said, and address what was wrong about what you said? This is a typical generic non-apology where the offender refuses to face what they did, and so they offer apologies to "any who were offended", "if you were offended", or in this case for "any comments that offended".
A sincere apology is specific, and unconditional.

things over.
Now, an apology.
Sorry (not really - it's not like it is my fault) but she simply doesn't come off as a sincere person.
