MSNBC’s Ruhle Apologizes for Remarks About Larry Kudlow’s Faith — ‘I Meant No Offense’

Saturday in a tweet, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle apologized for her remarks earlier in the week questioning President Donald Trump’s recently appointed director of the National Economic Council trust in “God’s will” in his new role.

“If you noticed when Larry Kudlow spoke on CNBC yesterday, he ended by saying, ‘However things work out, it will be God’s will,’” she said on MSNBC on Thursday. “That’s an interesting way to talk about being the national economic adviser to the president. ‘God’s will?’”

Ruhle apologized, explaining that she knows words matter.

As a reporter, a mom & a Catholic, I know words matter & I want to clear something up.
I meant no offense when discussing @larry_kudlow’s WH appointment. I apologize if my comments came off as dismissive of his faith.
I would never question another person’s believe in God.

Kudlow responded and thanked Ruhle for her apology.

To @SRuhle : thank you for apology. I accept. Let’s move on. See soon.
