While discussing the potential impact of President Trump’s Middle Eastern visit on Monday’s edition of Morning Joe, BBC World News anchor Katty Kay created controversy within the panel when she fretted that the commander-in-chief was "alienating" Iran while visiting Saudi Arabia and Israeli. She even laughably declared that Iran was a "potentially" "pro-American nation."
"You know, you're alienating a nation which is potentially a fairly pro-western, pro-American nation that has just voted in, not a totally free election --" Kay began. Host Joe Scarborough rightfully called her out for the absurd assertion: "Iran? You're speaking like a European now....there is nothing pro American about Iran!"
