Chris Hayes targeted Jeb Bush on the 19 August 2015 edition of his MSNBC program for using the term "anchor babies." Hayes played a clip of Bush calling for "greater enforcement, so that you don't have these anchor babies, as they're described, coming into the country." He continued by pointing out that "Hillary Clinton responding with a Tweet: 'They're called babies' – which seems like a better term for those small human beings."

Hayes's rebuke of former Governor Bush came hours after he posted something similar on Twitter: "Better term for 'anchor babies' is 'babies.' Or, alternately, 'tiny humans to be cherished and valued.'" Of course, in both of these instances, the anchor missed the gaping hypocrisy of speaking so highly of newborns, while running to the defense of Planned Parenthood, which butchers unborn babies in order to sell their organs and their tissue.
