(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.

This might be the best one to use, since CNN seems to have become overheated on a cool and cloudy day.

Sounds like CNN thinks it’s his mother.
I have a feeling that CNN is about to experience an incoming sh*t-storm.
They can silence one particular redditer. How well will they deal with thousands?
They threaten doxxing? How comfortable will they be with having their pictures, home addresses, and favorite hangouts all over the Internet? How comfortable will they be with pics of who they are making out with in their favorite bar being a topic of discussion? Not just the executives and producers and anchors, but EVERYONE, down to the cameramen and make-up girls?
His fame will result in wealth.
Time for ALL of us to start posting joke videos that mock CNN.
I Am Spartacus.
Reason 45,873 to NOT be on FaceBook, and to discourage family from being on FaceBook (because THEY might post info on you on their pages)
If this guy doesn’t sue CNN immediately it could only be because he doesn’t wish to be a multi-millionaire in about a week.
Twitter account suspended.
Yet another reason to switch to Gab.ai
What about 4chan, reddit, and WikiLeaks vs CNN?
The backlash against CNN has been brutal. One example of such backlash being 4chan doxxing CNN employees (including newsreaders).
