Ebony.com Senior Editor Jamilah Lemieux remarked that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) likes country music because “nothing says ‘let’s go kill some Muslims’ like country music” on Wednesday’s “NOW with Alex Wagner” on MSNBC.
After hearing a clip of Cruz saying he changed his music tastes after 9/11, Lemieux remarked “nothing says ‘let’s go kill some Muslims’ like country music. Fresh from Lynchburg, Virginia, someone who obviously does not want to be a polarizing candidate, wants to bring people together. I mean, really? That’s absurd.”
Towards the end of the show, guest host Ari Melber said “a few minutes ago on this show, a guest made a comment about country music. That comment was not appropriate, and we want to be clear this network does not condone it.”
