While working for CNN, he made several controversial remarks about former President Barack Obama. Although he apologized later, it caused huge controversy. For his comments on Jon Stewart and anti-Jew rant, CNN fired him.
He had also falsely attributed quotes to Rush Limbaugh, for which he also later apologized. Despite his firing, upon leaving CNN, Sanchez said, “I want to go on record to say that I have nothing but the highest regard for CNN and for my six wonderful years with them. I appreciate every opportunity that they have given me, and it has been a wonderful experience working for them.”
In the days after the incident, Sanchez apologized several times. In an appearance on Good Morning America, Sanchez told George Stephanopoulos: “I said some things I shouldn’t have said. They were wrong. Not only were they wrong, but they were also offensive.” He added, “I apologize and it was wrong for me to be so careless and so inartful. … But it happened and I can’t take it back and, you know what, now I have to stand up and be responsible.”
Sanchez personally apologized to Stewart. He released a statement expressing regret for his “inartful” comments, adding “I am very much opposed to hate and intolerance, in any form, and I have frequently spoken out against prejudice.” On October 20, 2010, Jon Stewart told Larry King that Sanchez should not have been fired for what Sanchez said in the radio interview; Stewart called the firing “absolute insanity”, and stating that he was not “personally hurt”.
In a letter to Abraham Foxman, the head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Sanchez apologized once again, writing, “There are no words strong enough for me to express my regret and sorrow over what I said. It was offensive, and I deeply, sincerely and unequivocally apologize for the hurt that I have caused. I tell my children that when they make a mistake, they should take responsibility, atone and work to repair whatever they have done. … I cannot undo the offense or controversy I caused; all I can do is to try and learn from this experience and strive to become a better person.”
