Nonetheless, it’s clear that my Tweet has caused some people quite a bit of pain. So I want to repeat what I said on October 8 to those who might not have heard it: I am sorry, if you – directly or indirectly – were harmed. Our station has taken a lot of heat for the tweet – and I feel awful about that, too. Our producer, Nicole, is tough as bricks, but I also want to apologize to her and thank her for standing strong. The person here at KIRO who answers our phones, they had nothing to do with this tweet, but I apologize to them, too. Can you see a lot of people have been touched by this?
Since October 9, advertisers on this show and our station have felt the pain. I accept responsibility for this. Not only do I value and respect the relationships that I have with our advertisers, but I cherish them. Your commitment has been an incredible strength. Honest to goodness, besides my family and my faith, I get up every morning with you and our listeners in mind. I will never give you less than 100 percent of myself.
