NBC said on Monday morning that it will no longer air an immigration ad from President Donald Trump, widely derided as racially divisive, that aired during the network's NFL coverage on Sunday night.
"After further review, we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible," said Joe Benarroch, a spokesperson for NBC's advertising sales department.
NBC came under fire for airing the commercial during its Sunday NFL coverage of a game between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers.
The ad aired 18 times across multiple networks. It also aired on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday morning.
CNN had declined to air the commercial.

More censorship.
Remember that these broadcast propagandists require a government-issued license.
Looks like the "critics" are finally catching on.
And, they are NOT immigrants.
That would include virtually every ad the Dem Senatorial Committee has run against Braun
Actually I expect Trump will tweet a complaint about NBC doing this, drawing far more attention to the ad than if they had left well enough alone.
Doesn’t an ad buyer pay money to place that ad on tv? Did they return the money put up to show those ads? Our networks are beyond hope when politics mean more than ad money!
Here in Minneapolis I see endless democrat ads saying Republicans will take away healthcare and will stop coverage for everyone with a pre-existing condition.
But those lies are ok.
Essentially and, surprisingly, via its public license. At the end of this line of reasoning it will reject all Trump/GOP ads because they are "devisive".
Surprised there is not some sort of "public accommodation" type of statute.
More than a slippery slope. Because they operate under the permission umbrella of the FCC, they have violated Republicans’ 1st Amendment rights and should be subject to FCC censure, up to and including shutting down all network-owned stations. The classic phrase is “violation of the public’s trust.”
backlash from who..far left commie open border loving freaks
Surprise!! The media considers itself the sole arbitrator of what is right and wrong.
Jobs not mobs.
I guess NBC is willing to risk that penalty in the long run in order to keep Trump from flipping more votes to the GOP in the short run.
Yes, he is. Filed for 2020 right after winning. Guess why?
So have an announced Senate candidate run it on NBC again.
The Laws covering the Border don't have a Race.
I don't care if the Swedish Bikini Team is there. Come in Legally or Go Home.
I saw the ad. Very convincing. Build The Wall!
Why no outrage from Black Lives Matter? This illegal from south of the border shot a BLACK police officer in the face FIVE TIMES! (Amazingly, he survived!)
And the cretin said he’d kill more if he could.
Ain’t diversity grand?
