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.”
On Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) also called on Reid to apologize, saying that “this kinda of casual Islamophobia is hurtful and dangerous.”
“We deserve better and an apology for the painful moment for so many Muslims around our country should be forthcoming,” she added.

Ilhan Omar calls on MSNBC's Joy Reid to apologize over comments labeled Islamophobic
I can’t stand Reid but I hope she doesn’t just bow down to these animals.
Reid to detractors: I don’t gotta do nothin’ for nobody. I am black. I will expect an apology from y’all.
She will. This is — what? — the third or fourth time her mouth has overloaded her substantial posterior and all she ever does is say “I’m a better person now” and then moves on.
Reid should apologize to Trump and his allies. They do not act like muslims.
This will be interesting. Reid is, of course, black and a female. So she’s got two things going for her. But the Muslims are at the top of the PC protected list.
So which side will the liberal elite back in this matter? Like I said, it will be interesting.
They will bow to their muslim masters.
The most puzzling question is does CAIR still exist.
wow. Scumbags at war. It’s like the Soviets and the Maoists going at it. We can’t lose either way.
Reid is a moron. I don’t think she thinks before she does anything.
I love when they eat their own..
