but she "genuinely doesn't believe she wrote those things." Then who wrote them?

I don't know. It is helpful that she took responsibility for her past attitudes and some of the other things she has said, but she left a little hanging out there.

It seems she is genuine in feeling shame over having once been prejudiced towards LGBTQ people. She understands that words do matter.

I agree with Jonathan Capehart, we can all learn from this and move on. I don't have the energy to hold a grudge.

"Look at this stuff you posted"

"That wasn't me"

"Yes it was"

"I've been hacked!"

"Forensics says you weren't hacked"

"My friend I hired says I was"

"You weren't hacked"

"I have to own it, yeah I've really evolved, the very best evolution, believe me!"

I genuinely don't believe I wrote those things.

You either own it or you don't.
