NBC News foreign correspondent Bill Neely interviewed Syrian President and brutal dictator Bashar Al-Assad that began airing on Wednesday night and, somehow, large portions of the hour-long special were dedicated to harping on Donald Trump’s candidacy, if his lack of foreign policy experience concerned Assad and if his Muslim ban hurt his feelings.
Neely spent the final 15 minutes of the program thoroughly hammering the murderous ruler for gassing his own people and starving much of his population (all of which he denied), but not before spending over nine minutes on the 2016 U.S. presidential election and what he made of Trump.
