Liberal outlet MS NOW \u2014 formerly MSNBC \u2014 ran a segment on Saturday during which one of the cohosts complained about the way that President Donald Trump\u2019s administration have described the \u201copponent\u201d in recent American military action against the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
Antonia Hylton, during Saturday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cThe Weekend: Primetime,\u201d complained that \u201cracism\u201d was fueling the way President Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth talked about Iran and the regime\u2019s terrorist proxies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other piece of this that I found really disturbing in the messaging around the war recently \u2014 and Ayman, I really want your thoughts on this in particular \u2014 is some of the language in the description of their opponent,\u201d Hylton said, describing the regime that has murdered more than 1000 Americans, both military and civilian.<\/p>\n
\u201cSort of the way they seem to create this image of the Iranians and all of their sort of proxies or allies, the sort of imagery that they conjure up,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd I think that it takes a certain amount of arrogance and I\u2019m also going to say it, a bit of racism, to constantly talk about people like they are savages. That is a word that we have heard Hegseth use. [They] talk about people as though they are subhuman, too stupid to engage in a war with the United States, incapable of possibly out-maneuvering us, and then find ourselves in the exact position in which it appears they are consistently out-maneuvering us.\u201d<\/p>\n
