Norm Macdonald continued his apology tour on Thursday’s episode of “The View” after making headlines for his controversial remarks about the #MeToo movement, and the treatment of Louis C.K., Roseanne, and Chris Hardwick in recent scandals.

Macdonald said he’s been taken aback by the criticism regarding his comments.

“I have been surprised because I never did anything. I spoke. I don’t want to be tossed in with people who did, not crimes, but sins,” he said. “I barely have consensual sex.”

Macdonald found himself at the center of controversy after saying he was “happy the #MeToo movement has slowed down a bit” in a recent interview in the Hollywood Reporter.

His appearance on “The Tonight Show” was canceled that day, though he apologized during an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” the next day. On the show, he further drew ire when he said, “You’d have to have Down syndrome to not feel sorry for [the victims].”

“It’s always bad when you have to apologize for an apology,” Macdonald told the co-hosts of “The View.” “There is a thing with Howard where there’s a recklessness in the studio.”

He continued, “There’s a word we used to use to mean stupid I was about to say that word, and then I stopped and thought about what’s the right word to say. I realized at that moment I did something unforgivable.”
