Merriam-Webster and Oxford define it as 'A person who offers an argument in defence of something controversial.'You can't just be an apologist, you have to be an apologist for something.
JonMc has said in the past he is an apologist for Islam. I don't think he fully understands what being an apologist is but I'm not going to argue with him.
I think that you are the one in need of seeking understanding. Like being an apologist for a cowardly bigot who chose the pseudonym of a football thug to protect himself.
