They also state that they neither proactively reported the content (they encouraged NBC to do so), nor did they remove it on behalf of NBC (they claim independent action based on their policy).

In other words, they deny having done what they consider not acceptable, so that can't be what they are apologizing for.

"I absolutely didn't hit you. I'm apologize. I never hit people, that would be unacceptable."

Doesn't make any sense. They just stuck the word "apologize" in between saying how they did nothing wrong and denouncing something they claim they didn't do in the first place.

So the account would have been restored if Guy Adams did as they told him. That's just the standard "he shouldn't have resisted arrest" line of deflection.

Stating how right you are and always have been is quite the opposite of an apology. It's not even a well constructed "non-apology apology", it's just randomly inserting the word "apologize".
