Variety

In a series of tweets on Thursday morning, Cannon explained he made the decision in order to “commit (himself) to deeper, more thorough reflection and education.” In his apology posted last night, Cannon said he is speaking with “Rabbis, community leaders and institutions” within the Jewish community in wake of his anti-Semitic comments. "I will use this time to establish an action plan towards real, impactful change and advocacy aimed at bringing people together," he tweeted this morning. "I continue to express my gratitude to the Rabbis, community leaders and institutions who have reached out to me to help enlighten me. Their input and friendship will help me as I further commit myself to more profound learning and towards strengthening the bond between the Black and Jewish cultures every day going forward."
