CNBC Host Accidentally Lets F-Bomb Slip On Live TV During Spicy Rant

CNBC host Jim Cramer accidentally let out an f-bomb live on air on Monday. While appearing on CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street,' Cramer let the curse word slip while chatting about the U.S. and U.K. agreeing on a framework for a trade deal that imposes a 15% tariff on most E.U. imports to the U.S., including cars. 'What the fuck—' Cramer said after an onscreen graphic showed the tariffs that multiple countries have agreed to. Quickly realizing his faux pas, Cramer abruptly cut himself off. 'Jesus Christ!' Cramer then exclaimed as his co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla laughed. 'Oh my God!' called out Faber. Cramer then launched into a hysterical apology. 'So sorry. I'm so sorry.' Cramer repeated. 'I take it right back. I take it right back.' Cramer continued to beat himself up over the mishap. 'That was bad. That was bad,' he added as his co-hosts tried to smooth the moment over. 'It's OK. It's OK,' Faber said while brushing off Cramer's expletive. 'We're in the moment. It's just the way we talk.' Cramer continued expressing regret before telling Faber and Quintanilla, 'I'm done. I think I'm out of here.' 'No, you're fine,' Faber replied with a laugh, teasing back, 'You want me to say [an expletive too]?' Cramer's apology didn't end there. The TV personality took to X, formerly Twitter, to ask for forgiveness. 'I apologize to all viewers. I was too effusive in making my point about the great economy we have,' he wrote Monday. Cramer didn't clarify what he meant by 'great economy.' HuffPost has reached out to him and CNBC for comment. Inflation has accelerated amid Trump's controversial tariffs, The New York Times reported earlier this month. X users were pretty forgiving of Cramer's gaffe. While Cramer shared in 2017 that he's not pro-Trump, he later appeared to switch up his stance during a segment on CNBC. 'If you're in the stock market, if you care about your paycheck, you go with Trump,' Cramer told viewers in a clip shared in August 2024 on X. The political commentator faced backlash over his comment. Watch Cramer drop an f-bomb on CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' below. Related...
