An interview on MS NOW with a Florida man caused alarm on social media after he urged Donald Trumpto “push the button” and kill everyone in Iran.
Speaking on the street in front of a Starbucks in Boca Raton, Dale Hershman told MS NOW’s Alex Tabet that he wants Trump’s war to continue and that the president has not gone far enough as far as he is concerned.
“The ceasefire isn’t an end of a war to me, I hope it falls apart, the job’s not done,” he stated. “I think we should finish the job.”
“So you hope that the war continues in Iran?” Tabet asked.
“I hope it continues to completion; it could be over in a week, Donald Trump said,” he replied. “So it can be; it’s just a push of a button.”
“And what does completion mean for you? What is the goal that you’re hoping to be achieved?” the MS NOW reporter pressed.
“Completion means we’ve destroyed Iran to the point where they cannot harm other people. The well-being of their own citizens is of no concern at all to me,” Hershman said.
After the clip ended, Tabet told host Anna Cabrera, “And Anna, later on in that interview, I asked about what’s happening in Lebanon. He asked, or he called for the annexation and the absorption of southern Lebanon into Israel.”
Tabet added the caveat, ”Now, of the three interviews that we’ve conducted so far this morning, that man was perhaps the most extreme. But the man who we interviewed right after him, the first words that he said when I when I said I was going to ask about the war in Iran, the first words that he said was ‘kill them all,’ Anna.”
Not long after the interview was broadcast, there was stunned outrage on X.
Journalist Leslie Abravanel wrote, “To anyone anywhere in the world who just saw that vile @MSNOW interview with a neighbor of mine in Boca Raton, Florida, who said he has no concern for the well-being of Iranian citizens and hopes ‘they kill them all,’ please know that this Jewess is appalled, disgusted, and completely embarrassed by such grotesque, ghoulish rhetoric. This is not my brand of Judaism or Americana. This is purely hateful Trumpism and extremist behavior. But you see what we are dealing with here?”
“What is wrong with our politicians! I just saw a reporter interviewing Israeli Americans about the war, and unanimous responses were ‘kill them all’! This is why we shouldn’t get involved in Middle East affairs. Especially when we don’t understand their world,” lamented viewer Andrew Miller.
