An MSNBC spokesperson tells BuzzFeed the cable news network will apologize for what many considered an insensitive and offensive segment.
MSNBC is set to apologize on-air Wednesday after their portrayal of Cinco de Mayo was blasted for being insensitive.
The Way Too Early website already has an apology.
“On Monday, Cinco De Mayo, ‘Way Too Early’ made sarcastic references to the way some Americans celebrate the holiday. It was not our intention to be disrespectful and we sincerely apologize for the ill-advised references,” the statement reads.
The president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Hugo Balta, slammed MSNBC after BuzzFeed first reported on the segment.
