Excerpt:
A Democratic congressman is slamming Lowe's for pulling its home-improvement ads from a reality TV show about Muslim families and is leading a campaign to get the company to reverse course.
Rep. Chris Murphy of Connecticut criticized Lowe's for "rubber-stamping basic foundational bigotry against a major American religious group" in a House floor speech Tuesday.
Murphy and Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, sent Lowe's a letter urging the home-improvement chain to reinstate its ads on TLC's All-American Muslim. The show chronicles the lives of five families in Dearborn, Mich.
