Jeopardy! winner Kelly Donohue condemned white supremacy on Thursday after receiving a wave of hate on social media for making a three-fingered gesture that people falsely associated with white power groups.
“I’m truly horrified with what has been posted about me on social media,” Donohue wrote on Facebook. “I absolutely, unequivocally condemn white supremacy and racism of any kind. People who know me personally know that I am not a racist, but for the public at large, it bears repeating: I am not a racist, and I reject and condemn white supremacy and all forms of bigotry for the evil they are.”

“What is a cuck?”
... and he doesn’t beat his wife.
Tsk tsk ... accepting the enemies premises.
They view any other response as some sort of chink in your armor that they can keep prying at.
Maybe he could borrow Kristen Sinema’s ring with that sentiment on it.
If I recall, Powerline had photo of Jen Psaki flashing that sign.
Or when Bush flashed the Texas Longhorns sign; media called it something else.
I would make them a one fingered gesture.
Also when the Oregon Ducks fans gave the OD sign, the media went nuts saying the fans were doing the 0bama “O” sign.
p***y.
An extended middle finger would have been much better. Far past time to tell these excrement eaters to “bring it”.
Hope no Republican or patriot watches shows like this.
Yes, he’s a loser who should have told them to Eff off.
He explained that he meant three wins and did indeed make a 1 and a 2 sign with other wins, so he’s telling the truth.
As for the apology, I believe Jeopardy! Winners don’t get their winnings until 100 days or so after their episodes air. And I don’t know what requirements regarding social media, morals, etc. they agree to. He may have been “strongly encouraged” by producers to say something like this. Not worth condemning him over.
He apparently didn't give any thought to the ramifications of his craven condemnation of "White Supremacy":

It isn't his condemnation of White Supremacy that is the problem. It is the reason he issued the condemnation that is problematic.
Doesn’t make any difference Kelly. The “racist” label has been thrown up on the wall and it stuck as it always does. You are now besmirched for the rest of your life and there is nothing you can do about it.
It is racist to say that.
You’re exactly right! I’ve said this a bazillion times... One must attack and NAME NAMES! Call them out! Never apologize! Don’t give Jerry Springer riff raff trash any respect or consideration. Have attorneys send certified letters, demanding apologies!
“I don’t even know what that sign means, but I DO know what this one means, and it’s for you!”
Failure to admit is proof you are. 😏
