The StopAntisemitism.org watchdog didn't seem to think Brown's apology very sincere, suggesting that the Food Network suspend him. "Alton Brown is sorry he got called out for his vile Holocaust rhetoric," the watchdog said in a tweet. “And the only thing he’s trying to do with his ‘apology’ is save his multi-million-dollar FoodNetwork and Discovery contract.”I apologize for the flippant reference I made to the Holocaust in my tweet last night. It was not a reference I made for humorous effect but rather to reflect how deeply frightened I am for our country. It was a very poor use of judgement and in poor taste.
