The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for critical comments he made about Senator Barack Obama that were picked up by a Fox News Channel microphone.
According to various reports, Mr. Jackson made disparaging remarks, apparently including a crude reference, about how Mr. Obama was talking to black people.
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Jackson, a former Democratic candidate for president, said: “For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”
Mr. Jackson apologized after Fox News said it would would be broadcasting the remarks on “The O’Reilly Factor” Wednesday night.
