Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) appeared on the Ed Schultz show and said Juan Williams is 'Un-American' and people like him contribute to 'profiling and harassing Americans' for his comments last week on Muslim airline passengers. Schultz agreed and said the Congressman's comments were 'right on the mark'. Williams responded to his firing by saying NPR was looking for a reason to get rid of him, and jumped all over the comments to do so.
On Sunday, the President of NPR apologized for the way she handled the situation.
