National Security Advisor Mike Waltz tweeted his support of the move to defund PBS on Friday over a Thursday News Hour segment that saw the network platform Houthi terrorist and self-styled Foreign Minister Jamal Amer. While none of correspondent Nick Schifrin’s questions were bad, he didn’t provide any pushback either.
Schfrin’s interview was supplemented with slow and solemn B-roll, and he started by recalling that, “In the Red Sea once again, the U.S. Navy is at war. For six days, the U.S. has launched dozens of strikes and sorties attacking Houthi targets in Yemen, including for the first time Houthi leadership.”
Through an interpreter, Amer declared, “At the end of the day, we are at war with America. And, of course, there will be casualties. But these casualties do not include senior leadership.”
