LONDON — A BBC presenter broke the British broadcaster’s rules when she criticized President Donald Trump’s comments calling for Democrat congresswomen to “go back” where they came from.
“Every time I have been told as a woman of color to go home, to back to where I came from, that was embedded in racism. Now I’m not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases mean,” Munchetty said on July 17 in response toThe tweets were seen as aimed at Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.
