Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson apologized to Barack Obama yesterday over remarks that Johnson made Sunday while campaigning with Hillary Rodham Clinton in Columbia, S.C., that were widely interpreted as an attempt to bring attention to the subject of Obama's teenage drug use.
"Sometimes in campaigns you get carried away in your zeal to support your candidate. And you say things that are inappropriate and not proper for a campaign that should be based on the issues," said Johnson, a Clinton supporter, in a phone interview on CNN's "The Situation Room." "And that is why I issued this personal apology to Senator Obama. I know Senator Obama. I have a great deal of respect for him. And I'm glad that his campaign has responded and accepted the apology."
