(CNN) The Reddit user who initially claimed credit for President Donald Trump's tweet that showed Trump tackling CNN issued an apology Tuesday for the video and other offensive content he posted -- one day after CNN identified the man behind the account and attempted to make contact with him.
Reddit user "HanA**holeSolo" first shared the GIF last Wednesday of Trump pummeling a wrestler with CNN's logo imposed on his face. CNN could find no earlier instance of the GIF. The GIF was later edited into a video with sound and tweeted by the President on Sunday. On Reddit, "HanA**holeSolo" took credit for inspiring the tweet. Soon after, "HanA**holeSolo's" other posts on Reddit, some of which included racist and anti-Semitic imagery, quickly circulated on social media.
Now the user is apologizing, writing in a lengthy post on Reddit that he does not advocate violence against the press and expressing remorse there and in an interview with CNN for other posts he made that were racist and anti-Semitic.

CNN is literally Hitler!
(notice to CNN: I’m being facetious.)
We need a thousand video clips going viral of that CNN logo imposed on every vile and disgusting thing people can imagine. Sometimes revenge is better served pipping hot.
you need a xanax.
Especially now that the kids have all the cool Vault 7 tools! There will be blood...
It is too late to block AT&T’s purchase of Time Warner?
If not then hopefully this will sink AT&T.

CNN so busted.
Yup, 4chan are bulldogs, CNN wears Milkbone underwear.
They will wish they didn’t go there, the bastiges. Sic ‘em boys.
In.cred.ible.
Kathy Griffen released a photo of Trump’s severed head and CNN winked when she called it a joke.
Trump retreats a gif of him knocking on ed the CNN logo (which WAS funny) and CNN not only doxxes the creator of the gif, they make the person release an apology statement!
CNNKIMJONGUN news network. The enemy of the (non-leftist) people.
CNN = Communist News Network
Was just reading about this on Reddit. Unbelievable. All this over a stupid wrestling meme gif. CNN is a farce.
Agree 100%.
The 4Chan covfefe storm is about hit....
#CNNBlackMail is trending on twitter
Isn’t that a textbook version of blackmail?
4chan tracked down Shia Lebouf’s flag using airplane travel in some other country. Those folks are weaponized autism.
...
Didn’t they also track down that college teacher who was attacking Trump supporters with a bike lock?
CNN flying into the ditch.
Hope Hulk Hogan and his lawyer help this fellow.
Consider that lawyers make millions in fees even from settling lawsuits that never go to court. You can bet the ambulance chasers will be on this guys doorstep offering to sue the crap out of CNN over this. That will not make AT&T happy!
It’s a longshot but if this were to blow the deal, that could be the most expensive ($85 billion) reddit of all time!
Yes. They have a knack for good old-fashioned detective work.
Hurricane 4chan will make landfall with the eye headed straight for CNN.
Several folks at the Control-LEFT are in full CYA mode tonight.
