Here is what he currently said, according to your quote:
"joining the KKK was "
an extraordinarily foolish mistake[emph added, and note: mistake, singular]" that "has emerged throughout my life to haunt and embarass me, and has taught me in a very graphic way what
one major mistake[emph added and note, one, singular] can do to one's life, career, and reputation."
So he apologizes for his membership in the Klan but what do the Klan-like acts and words of at least the next 25 years do to that apology? Its like Hitler apologizing for the one major mistake of Kristallnacht as a means for absolution for the Holocaust.
The Conscience of the Senate. Indeed.
