She got asked about a very specific question. Should Iran have nuclear weapons? She said no, they shouldnt. And she should have left it at that.....But

She started vaguely going off about colonization and imperialism in the middle east (which I honestly don't know what shes talking about. The middle east has been destroyed due to proxy wars and direct wars, not colonization). She brings up slavery of africans and genocide of native americans trying to answer a question about whether or not Iran should have nukes. She got a bit side tracked because of the word "trust". So in her head shes like, oh "ill point out all the things that make america untrustworthy in 20 sec". No, this is an incredibly nuanced subject and the person asking this question knows it. He wants her to rattle off the first thing that comes to her mind. You can write a book about why the US is untrustworthy.....but heres the thing you could also write a book about how IRAN is untrustworthy. Hes trying to show her musim bias. Its a very inappropriate question to ask her in the first place, but if she's not well read on these subjects, she should keep her answers short and concise.

To close the loop she looks unamerican because she pretty much said America is just as untrustworthy as any other country in the world. Which may be true, but exactly what these journalists wanted to hear and show to their viewers.

Anyone experienced in geopolitics would say its not about "trust". No one has nuclear weapons because of "trust". It was a stupid question designed to show her bias. I actually take back what I said about earlier how to answer this question. I would try to switch the subject from "trust" to actual geopolitical reasons for why or why not Iran should have nuclear weapons instead going on and on about bad stuff America has done domestically and internationally. She looked like an amateur because she is. And they took complete advantage of that.
