Overview
- During CNBC’s Squawk on the Street on July 28, Cramer accidentally uttered “What the fuck” while analyzing a UK–US trade framework.
- He immediately apologized on air, saying “So sorry” and “I take it right back,” as co-host David Faber offered reassurance.
- A follow-up apology on X described him as “too effusive” in his praise of the US economy and sought forgiveness from viewers.
- Viewers on X responded with largely forgiving messages and praised the moment as a candid glimpse into live financial broadcasting.
- CNBC has not issued any disciplinary action, and co-host Carl Quintanilla has publicly supported Cramer since the incident.
