I don't know how a person in a matter of weeks can go from at the very least accepting (if not advocating) of the idea of genocide as an "answer" to that "question" could do a complete 180. When people are that deranged they are very willing to publicly recant views that they realize are not publicly acceptable while still believing it in private.

I think it's pretty unlikely. More likely that he's simply trying to salvage his brand.
