NBC Host Tom Brokaw apologises for xenophobic ‘assimilation’ remarks on immigration

NBC News personality Tom Brokaw, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by two women who worked with him in the 1990s, apologised on Sunday for making xenophobic comments regarding Hispanic immigration while appearing on Meet the Press earlier that morning. While discussing the southern border, Mr Brokaw mentioned the fears about Hispanic immigrants among Republicans. “But the fact is, on the Republican side, a lot of people see the rise of an extraordinary, important, new constituent in American politics, Hispanics, who will come here and all be Democrats,” Mr Brokaw said.
