The guy was expecting her to lose her composure and say something stupid.

But boy take him on, she did.

 

[Madplayer]

Ask stupid questions, get smart answers.

 

[kaayal]

She just showed them a mirror. Clever girl.

 

[Robert]

Good on her.

 

[Markhor]

What about nuclear weapons ?

The IAEA have said Iran is COMPLIANT with the nuclear agreement. Doesn't take much to be a TV host in Chicago it seems.

Wow. That was some anwer. Stupid anchors.

Classy reply.

Some Americans are rather dumb for such a powerful country it's a bit embarrassing the levels if ignorance.

They do it on purpose to cater to the dummies that tune in for morning shows. Bored housewives and Middle America.

 

[DeadBall]

Good on her. It would have ended very differently if those condescending sorry excuses of an anchor had asked me such stupid, totally unrelated and biased questions and then gone on to question my nationality.

apparently according to this update the female anchor has been in touch to apologise but as some people observe it requires a on-screen public apology

2/ WGN just called and Robin, the female anchor, sincerely apologized. (I also didn't realize so many of you called in! Like I said, ya'll on top of this -- thank *you* for making this happen and refusing to normalize this)! I accepted, and proposed a few ways to fix this --

Great video.

 

[KingKhanWC]

It was an ok reply but could have been much more brutal.

Americans are fooled into thinking they are 'good guys' when history suggests the opposite.

It's better to win hearts and minds, and then more will be inclined to listen.

She has cut far deeper through her diplomacy and good nature.

This is pretty much a generic answer for most of us in America. We are used to these questions.
