The Hollywood Reporter

The day after CNN said it refused to air Trump's migrant caravan ad because "this ad is racist," NBC decided to air the same commercial in primetime during the Green Bay Packers-New England Patriots game. Numerous Twitter users, including Judd Apatow, called out NBC for airing the ad. "I am disgusted that you would air that after @cnn refused to air it because it is explicitly racist. Shame on you. @NBCNews," tweeted Apatow," who added that it was a "low point in the history" of NBC. Meanwhile, Will & Grace star Debra Messing tweeted: "To our @willandgrace fans—I want you to know that I am ashamed that my network aired this disgusting racist ad. It is the antithesis of everything I personally believe in, and what, I believe, our show is all about."
