National Public Radio terminated the contract of commentator Juan Williams after he said on Fox’s "O’Reilly Factor" that people wearing Muslim garb on airplanes made him "worried" and "nervous."
The move was first reported Wednesday on Twitter by NPR’s media correspondent David Folkenflik, who said Williams’ remarks "were inconsistent with our editorial standards." Williams was discussing political correctness on Monday with host Bill O’Reilly and said that it can "lead to some kind of paralysis, where you don’t address reality."
"I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot," said Williams, who is black and has written extensively on the civil rights movement and race in America. "You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
