Donald Trump did not mention any specific missteps when he expressed regret for certain past remarks on Thursday.

In keeping with the GOP presidential nominee’s line, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s new campaign manager, also declined on Sunday to elaborate about the particular offenses for which he had been apologizing.

“He has said that he wants to regret any time he has caused somebody personal pain by saying something that he didn’t intend to cause personal pain,” Conway told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’ “This Week.” “And I think those who have received it privately should take that expression of regret for them.”

Stephanopoulos understood Conway’s reference to a private apology as a suggestion that Trump had reached out to the victims of his vitriol and innuendo, such as Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim American soldier killed in Iraq, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), whose military service Trump impugned.

“So he’s called the Khan family? He’s called John McCain and apologized?” he asked.

Conway clarified that Trump’s broad expression of regret should be taken as an apology for whoever has felt hurt by his remarks.

“No, he has expressed this regret publicly and said, ‘If I have caused you personal pain’ ― that can include me, that can include you ― that he regrets that,” she said. “And that’s the Donald Trump that I know.”

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
