MS NOW’s chyron on Donald Trump’s UN General Assembly speech spread on social media after contrasting his claim to be a peacemaker with his question about whether to “annihilate” Iran. Stephanie Ruhle’s Tuesday program fact-checked claims from the address.
The chyron read, “Trump touts being a peacemaker while asking if he should annihilate Iran.” Trump asked during the speech, “Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?” MS NOW senior reporter Brandy Zadrozny shared a screenshot on X, joking, “Bonus for whoever wrote this chyron.”
