According to breitbart.com, Cumia said "If you read those, honestly people picked it apart. It wasn't racist." LEVY: 'How is it not racist? How can you say that? ' CUMIA: I was talking about people that instantly go to violence. I walked down the street. She called me “a white mother f-er” and started punching me in the face. I addressed her and other people that act like that. LEVY: But that’s not how your tweets read. You kept saying “they.” CUMIA: Animals, “they” -- the people that would assault you. LEVY: That’s not how it read. It read like --- CUMIA: Sorry, I’m no hemming way. LEVY: But, I think that gets to Greg’s point. 7GUTFELD: Mariel Hemmingway? A tremendous actress. No, but basically, OK -- let me ask you this. Who was the word savages and animals directed at because the general consensus is you were saying all blacks. CUMIA: No, that's the misconception. I was saying people that act like this, and I address that there is a huge violence problem in the black community. Cumia was later asked if he would apologize if offered his job back, to which Cumia decline. “I will never apologize for this,” he replied. “Even if they came back and said will you?

Meanwhile according to USA Today, on Opie's first day back on the air he told listeners " There’s a huge part of me that’s missing…Obviously Anthony is irreplaceable…If you think that me and Jimmy are going to move on…it’s just now different.

That’s all I can tell people.” He also said he disagreed with the firing: “I absolutely do not believe that Anthony should have been fired.
