NEW NBC statement regarding the Trump immigration ad:

“After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible.” – NBCUniversal Spokesperson.

1. Can someone describe the ad? nt

[Mrs. Overall]

2. I haven't seen it and apparently most media outlets refused to run it.

4. It's Willie Horton

9. just google 'racist Trump ad' and you can watch it

[SweetieD]

11. It's a clip of a Mexican gangbanger guy awaiting sentencing saying that he loves to

kill cops and would kill more. Then super imposed on that while he is talking are phrases that the Democrats let him in and Democrats want to let more people like him in.

7. Too late now

Only effective ad would be on MNF tonight (perhaps similar demographics to those who saw the first ad). It might be better tonight anyway if they had something in the can to run given it is Tennessee and Texas (Dallas) - both reaches but still relatively competitive Senate races. Would ESPN run it?

NBC proving they are whores. Mainstream liberal media my ass.

5. They ran it on the #1 show the sunday night before the election

You know someone at the top gave the approval for that crap

[LAS14]

8. Do you think they ran it so they could pull it and draw attention to the GOP's....

...awful tactics without actually showing the ad? And draw attention to themselves as a TV outlet, of course.

12. I think they ran it because they got paid a lot of money.

However, the thing is so awful it might have turned off as many people as liked it.

10. MSNBC has also been running the ad

Rachel must be having a stroke. Didn't she have a segment where she showed he came into the country while Repubs were in office?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Based on their tweet they're going to stop running it immediately.

They must have been paid a bundle to have run it on Sunday night football, so they got their moneys' worth anyhow.

[Control-Z]

24. Yup. It was during the Bush administration. eom

[EffieBlack]

14. I'm glad they pulled it, but a little late, isn't it?

They shouldn't have accepted it in the first place.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. They ran it during NFL Sunday Night Football game

So they made their money, and now are trying to look contrite. Pure hypocrisy.

[BeckyDem]

15. Good. Trump needs to be impeached for incitement and breach of the peace for political gain.

I am so fucking sick of this shit.

[C_U_L8R]

16. Hey NBC, this "insensitivity" has a name

Rightwing Republican Racism

[Thrill]

17. Yawn. Already served its purpose. They ran it during the football game

[Wintryjade]

22. Kinda like Comey with the emails. Everyone deciding right before elections it was nothing.

[MrGrieves]

18. Oh but they ran it on Sunday Night Football!

What a bunch of garbage. They want the accolades for pulling it after running it for large audiences.

[kpete]

19. SO DID FOX

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE:
