A debate on the joint U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran blew up on Piers Morgan Uncensored when one guest called another a “terrorist piece of crap.”
Sparks flew when Young Turks host Ana Kasparian lost her mind after claiming that six United States soldiers were dead because they were part of the operation that the Trump administration was “dragged into on behalf of Israel.” Retired U.S. General Mark Kimmitt wasn’t about to let her get away with that.
Watch:
“Ana, please quit using the tropes on American soldiers. I’ve had to bury seven American soldiers. They went into the battlefield,” he said.
“How is it a trope? How is it a trope to see American soldiers die on behalf of Israel’s wars?” Kasparian exploded. “How is that a trope? Explain that to me.”
“I’m not gonna dignify that with a response,” the former George W. Bush administration official chuckled.
“Let me read you what Israeli media has been saying,” the irate Kasparian continued. “So American soldiers came under ‘friendly fire’ in Kuwait. I don’t know if any of them have died. Hopefully, none of them have died. But on Channel 12, Niv Raskin said this: ‘We need to emphasize this is an incident involving American forces and not, heaven forbid, an incident involving Israeli forces.’ What do you have to say to that?”
“And why is he representative of anything, Ana? Who makes him representative of anything?” former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Jonathan Conricus interjected.
“This is a huge figure in Israeli media saying this out loud. Sacrificing American soldiers is totally OK, I guess,” she shot back.
“No, he’s not a huge figure. He’s a talking head on a morning show,” Conricus pointed out.
Ignoring host Piers Morgan’s attempts to bring the debate under control, Kasparian continued to badger the other guests.
“I would like him to answer my question. Why is that considered a trope? Why is it considered a trope to be concerned about American soldiers during these endless, nonsensical wars? Why is that considered a trope?” she demanded.
“How many times have you gone to Arlington and paid your respects to the American heroes?” Conricus asked, trying to bring her concern for American soldiers into perspective.
“I’m not talking to you, Conricus, you terrorist piece of crap! I’m talking to the general,” she snapped.
“Okay, please keep the ad-hominems down,” Morgan begged.
“I’m not gonna dignify that with a response,” Kimmet repeated himself.
