Naga Munchetty Donald Trump

In September 2019, it was determined that Naga had violated BBC policies by denouncing US President Donald Trump for alleged racism. She expressed her displeasure with Trump’s remarks ordering his opponents to “go back” to the “places from which they came” while hosting BBC Breakfast with Dan Walker in July. She continued, “Every time I have been told to return to my own country as a woman of color, that advice was laced with bigotry. I’m not accusing anyone here, but you are aware of the meaning of some expressions.

The BBC came under fire for its decision to sustain complaints about Naga’s remarks. Due to this, a number of well-known people, including Adrian Lester and Lenny Henry, wrote an open letter pleading with the corporation to overturn its decision against her. The Guardian stated on September 30, 2019, that although her co-host Dan Walker was also the subject of the complaint, the BBC’s executive complaints unit (ECU) probe was not centered on his remarks. Later on the same day, Tony Hall, the BBC’s director general, reversed the judgment after conducting his own investigation.
