CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota suggested on Monday that Americans should sport hijabs to show solidarity with Muslim women who fear being attacked for wearing religious head coverings.

You know, even if youâre not Muslim,â Camerota said during CNNâs early-morning âNew Dayâ broadcast. âMaybe itâs the way people shave their heads, you know, sometimes in solidarity with somebody who is going through something.â

The segment was cordially titled âThe Trump Transition: Fearful Muslim women take steps to be safe.â
