There’s often a time and a place for political correctness to be enforced upon millions of people, which MSNBC anchor Symone Sanders-Townsend arguably proved on her show “The Weekend”.
The show airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and is the perfect way to start your day if you like feeling enraged.
This past weekend’s edition was no different, when Sanders-Townsend objected to the use of “illegal immigrants.”
Steele was questioning Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts over his stance on generalizing an entire community in a discussion about migrant crime when he used the term.
“Just to clarify, we should refer to them as ‘undocumented individuals,’” Sanders-Townsend interrupted.
Roberts wryly amended the term to “illegal aliens” before the discussion continued with Steele using “undocumented individuals” thereafter. “That’s sweet – they’re illegal aliens” Roberts fired back.
“You’re suggesting that because some individuals act wrongly, it reflects on the entire community,” Steele argued when referring to Roberts’ claim regarding crimes being committed by illegal immigrants. Of course, the likes of Steele and Sanders-Townsend are themselves happy to inflict political collective punishment when its a gun owner who violates the law. Steele has to strawman the position of Roberts solely because there is no honest case for the leftist pro-open borders position.
Others disputed whether the term “illegal” is incorrect at all.
What’s your view? Was the MSNBC host correct to insist on using preferred terminology, or should the program be renamed the “The Woke-end”? Let us know in the comments.
