It's the deeds Donnie.
Your shameful molesting deeds that you're so boastful and proud of.

He apologized if anyone was offended. That is the ultimate non-apology. Imagine someone punches you in the face. Now imagine they say "I am sorry if you were offended by me punching you in the face".

As if they were harmed by some random accident. That's why it's called a non-apology apology.
