I believe that mistake doesn’t reflect who I am or what I stand for.

I am committed to the progress, not just for myself, also for the franchise.”

Harrison said of his controversial interview remarks: “Antebellum parties are not okay past, present, future.

Knowing what that represents is unacceptable…

I am saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was in that interview with Rachel Lindsay.

I’m sorry to Rachel Lindsay, and I’m sorry to the Black community.”

It is unacceptable."

“I plan to be back and I want to be back,” he told Strahan.

“This interview is not the finish line.

After playing the pre-taped interview, Strahan discussed it with his co-hosts in the GMA studio.
