NEW YORK — Rick Sanchez didn’t mince any words. He said he was wrong and he screwed up.
Interviewed on ABC’s “Good Morning America” a week after being fired from his hosting job at CNN, Sanchez apologized Friday for his slams at CNN and Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart, whom he had called a “bigot.” Those remarks were aired on a radio show Sept. 30. A day later, he was out of a job.
Sanchez explained that he was tired when he made the radio appearance and that “my daughter had a softball game I desperately wanted to go to, and I was a little impatient. I said some things I shouldn’t have said. They were wrong. Not only were they wrong, they were offensive.”
He has no beef with Stewart or with CNN, he insisted. The Associated Press
