Human rights attorney and MSNBC commentator Arsalan Iftikhar made a shocking racist remark on the network’s “Now with Alex Wagner.” He asserted that that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal “might be trying to scrub some of the brown off his skin.” MSNBC has since distanced itself from Iftikhar, but Jindal questioned why the network would give him a platform in the first place.

“It’s embarrassing for MSNBC to give voice to such shallow foolishness,” Jindal told CNN in a statement. “Much like Michael Moore denigrating our military servicemen, these comments deserve no comment.”
He continued: “I will not be silenced. Radical Islam must be stopped and we must stop pretending. It is time for the Western world to face reality. These are not cultural differences, this is the difference between right and wrong. It is wrong to treat women as second class citizens and it is wrong to shoot civilian teenagers in the head for watching soccer on TV. Period.”
