On Tuesday’s CBS Mornings, co-host and Democratic Party donor Gayle King channeled MSNBC’s ReidOut Joy Reid is the host You can play the race card concerning the ongoing plight of the millions of Ukrainian refugees, lamenting that those who’ve come to the United States from El Salvador, Haiti, And Honduras “were not welcome” and “received very well.”
The west is a racist, showing solidarity for the displaced white population while laughing at innocent black and brown citizens.
King conveniently ignored the facts separating the two with Ukrainians given permission to cross the border to neighboring countries due to Russia’s unprovoked war while the latter group has flooded and crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
Nate Burleson, co-host of the show, started it by asking David Miliband (CEO International Rescue Committee) how to set it up. “treatment” Ukrainians “compare to refugees from Syria and Afghanistan.”
Miliband went along, saying there’s “unity” in the E.U. on Ukrainians and helped over “1.5 million” across the border versus “disunity” with those from the Middle East as “it took three months for a million people to flee Syria.”
The King changed his skin color.
A lot of people are starting to say, “listen, when people were coming here from El Salvador, Honduras, they were not welcome. They were really — well — they were not received very well.” When you talk about Syria and Afghanistan, too, what do you think is the difference here?
Miliband claimed that the people must “be honest about” why that’s happened because “[t]here’s more fear of incorporating and integrating people from different races and different religions into national life.”
He also argued that all people should assimilate. “a second chance” After “fleeing for their freedom and for their lives” go onto “patriotic and productive citizens” Their “adopt[ed]” country.
Someone should ask Miliband what he’d say then to Angel Moms in the U.S. whose children have been killed by illegal immigrants who shouldn’t have been wandering inside our country.
Nonetheless, King continued to show her ignorance in wrapping the segment, saying that “people need to be reminded of” Miliband’s (pie-in-the-sky) point, adding:
[Y]People coming from Haiti are people who come, like I mentioned, El Salvador or Honduras. These people were well treated. It is clear that we want to see the Ukrainian people helped. Everyone agrees, but we have enough suffering here.
RedState did what Reid did. Referred to as “whataboutism with the ongoing brutality against the Ukrainian people” while Ignoring what Ian Miles Cheong pointed out as a long track record of the west being “the most compassionate donors of developing nations in their times of need,” including earthquakes in Haiti.
We could restate the point about how flooding the U.S. southern border and expecting amnesty and welfare is entirely different from Ukranians being shot at and shelled as part of a war by a nuclear state, but it’s safe to say it wouldn’t make a difference for King.

Eastern, 7:42 AM[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: The Refugee Crisis; Int’l Rescue Commitee Leader on Ukraine & Other Refugees]
NATEBURLESON: David how is this different to the treatment of refugees fleeing Syria and Afghanistan?
DAVID MILIBAND (EU): We have unity where discord was before in the European Union. Where there was division before, we now have a welcoming response. It took 3 months to get a million Syrians out of Syria. For Ukraine, the process took one week and now we are at 1.5 million.
GAYLE KING: And — and why do you think that is? A lot of people are starting to say, “listen, when people were coming here from El Salvador, Honduras, they were not welcome. They were really — well — they were not received very well.”
BURLESON: Mmm.
KING: What do you see as the differences between Syria and Afghanistan?
MILIBAND: Well, it’s simple. It’s harder to integrate and integrate people of different faiths and races into our national lives. We need to be open about this. What we do know is that Albert Einstein founded the International Rescue Committee. We’ve been working here and all over the globe for the past 80 years. What we know is that, in the end, people fleeing for their freedom and for their lives, they’re desperate to have a second chance, and the countries that they adopt as their new homes, they become patriotic and productive citizens because of the chance that’s given them.
KING (Yes, I agree. You know, we had, time and time — you look at people coming from Haiti, people coming, as I said, El Salvador, Honduras. These people were well treated. It is clear that we want to see the Ukrainian people helped. Everyone agrees, but we have enough suffering here.
