"I realize I was wrong and would like to offer an apology for my comments."

Let me word it for you:

"For those that may have misinterpreted my most recent commments, I apologize."

Or

"For those that may have been offended by my most recent commments, I apologize."

Unqualified apologies went out of fashion years ago. This is why politicians have spin meisters.

BTW, Greg, could you add blue in addition to red as a font color?
