On Thursday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell asked what France had to do given its “anti-immigrant stance in some quarters” in the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
During an interview with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff she said “I was talking earlier in the program to Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN), who is Muslim, and he was praising what George W. Bush did in going to a mosque after 9/11 and in trying to bring groups together…what does Francois Hollande have to do now given the fact that France has already had so much division because of its large Muslim community and its anti-immigrant stance in some quarters and the right-wing of course?”
