MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell has apologized for his off-air outbursts during his Aug. 29 broadcast of The Last Word.

In an apology posted to Twitter, the Last Word host expressed remorse following the viral footage — which Mediaite obtained and posted Wednesday afternoon.

“A better anchorman and a better person would’ve had a better reaction to technical difficulties,” O’Donnell said. “I’m sorry.”
