‘Opie And Anthony’ Fired DJ Anthony Cumia Not Issuing ‘Bogus Apology;’ Claims Twitter Rant Not Racist

After being booted out from work last July 3, "Opie and Anthony" fired DJ Anthony Cumia is not going to issue a "bogus apology" just to get his job back. The radio personality also claimed that his Twitter is not racist.

"Opie and Anthony" fired DJ Anthony Cumia finally spoke about his much talked about Twitter rant in "Red Eye."

When host Greg Gutfeld asked him if he would issue an apology for his Twitter rant in the event SiriusXM would offer back his job in exchange for public apology, Anthony Cumia said no.

"I will never apologize for this. I will never apologize. Even if they did come back and said, 'will you?' I didn't do anything wrong. This is exactly who I am," the radio personality said.

He even added: "It would be a phony, bogus apology."

The "Opie and Anthony" fired DJ also went on to defend himself claiming that what he posted on his Twitter account was not racist.

"If you read those, honestly, people picked it apart! It wasn't racist!" Cumia said.

But the panel pointed out to the DJ that he repeatedly used the word "they" in his post insinuating that he was speaking about all the black people. His attention was also called for using words like "savages" in his Twitter rant that led people to conclude he was speaking about all black people.

But "Opie and Anthony" fired DJ Anthony Cumia shed light on the issue saying: "They, the people who would assault you!"

"That's the misconception, I was saying people that act like this. And I addressed that there is a huge violence problem in the black community. ... It's been addressed by pastors, reverends, church groups, there's marches, rallies... but the second I addressed it and said there is, indeed, a violence problem, I am the bad guy that just said 'all blacks are violent' - I didn't say that!," the radio personality further said.
