Stephen Jackson apologized on Wednesday night for using what he said were the "wrong words" in defending DeSean Jackson, but the former NBA player told CNN that what he said a day earlier should not be misinterpreted as support for anti-Semitism.
"As I first stated when I got on here, I could've changed my words," Jackson told CNN's Don Lemon. "But there's nothing that said that I support any of that. There's nothing that I said that I hate anybody."
Jackson received criticism throughout Wednesday for saying DeSean Jackson was "speaking the truth" with social media posts in recent days that included an anti-Semitic message that he attributed to Adolf Hitler.
