"Tom’s comments were inaccurate and inappropriate, and we’re glad he apologized," NBC News said in a statement on the retired former NBC Nightly News anchor, which was included on Monday's broadcast. Brokaw was widely criticized for saying Sunday on Meet the Press, "I also happen to believe that the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation. That’s one of the things I’ve been saying for a long time.”
