During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" regarding his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. (Watch the video of Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs hereand read about his first apology.)
Obama's colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted -- and then deleted -- by ABC News reporter Terry Moran.
"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran wrote.
Politico's Michael Calderone has ABC's statement apologizing for Moran's journalistic breach.
UPDATE: Kanye West issued an emotional follow-up apology to Taylor Swift during an appearance on "The Jay Leno Show" Monday evening.
