Brokaw Accidentally Saying The Truth Doesn’t Need An Apology!
NBC News special correspondent and former “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokawreceived scathing backlash Sunday for remarks he made on a “Meet the Press” segment about Hispanic assimilation.
Brokaw, 78, made his remarks during a panel discussion about the fight for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“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,” he said.
“Also, I hear, when I push people a little harder, ‘Well, I don’t know whether I want brown grandbabies.' I mean, that’s also a part of it. It’s the intermarriage that is going on and the cultures that are conflicting with each other,” he added.

Brokaw went on to say, “I also happen to believe that the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation. That’s one of the things I’ve been saying for a long time. You know, they ought not to be just codified in their communities but make sure that all their kids are learning to speak English, and that they feel comfortable in the communities. And that’s going to take outreach on both sides, frankly.”
His comments quickly drew strong reactions on Twitter, with many decrying what he had said.
“(Tom Brokaw) my mom worked harder at learning English than most teens in their HS ‘foreign language’ class,” NYU adjunct professor Carolina J. Morena tweeted. “I'm fluent in Spanish & English, majored in French & studied Portuguese. Maybe the US should try harder to assimilate into global society. #ImmigrationIsTheFuture Join us!”

It is the truth… Unvarnished and anathema to the PC leftists that dare not visit truths that are uncomfortable to their agenda.
Hell, most of the leftists in America can’t assimilate to the American way of life!!! How can we expect anyone else too if we don’t lead by example? Quit rolling out the red carpet and enforce the American way of life….IN AMERICA!!! Last time I checked, we were still the land of the free for those who want to be here legally and oney our laws. Kudos to Brokaw!!!
Yes immigration today is not like it was years ago when my grandparents came through Ellis island legally!
Today there is no assimilation only invasion! And demands for welfare, health care, housing, education, etc.
Not to mention the problems they bring with them
like disease, crime, gang afflliations, and most come illegally. They blatantly attack our southern borders daily and expect the USA to not resist. And as bad as the Hispanic immigration is, the Muslim immigration is ten times worse! We need a wall and ten times more border guards, and ICE agents! If we don’t start a resistance to unfettered and uncontrolled illegal immigration, the USA will no longer be the USA!
God save America!Trump 2020
Ron K.— Come into this Great Country LEGALLY, and I will welcome you with open arms. Come into this country legally or illegally and think you have a right to live under the laws of your former country, such as the Muslim community thinks, and many Hispanics, I will condemn you until you go back to where you came from.
