(Hill) The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says it met with NBC executives after MSNBC anchor Joy Reid made remarks on Monday that compared the actions of President Trump and his allies to “the way Muslims act” when “radicalizing” supporters.
“Thank you @NBC for meeting to discuss our concerns about @JoyAnnReid’s inaccurate, offensive remarks. We appreciate your pledge to avoid Islamophobia in all forms,” CAIR tweeted.
The group added that, per their discussion, Reid “must clearly apologize tonight. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in mainstream society.”
