CNN is enthralled with the notion that America must be more and more "anti-racist." So it's not surprising that they would turn to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, for a strong serving.
On Friday CNN Newsroom anchorman Jim Sciutto announced the UN bureaucrat's indictment: "He warns extremism, including white supremacy, neo-Nazism and anti-Asian violence is growing across the globe. And he says it's a challenge that the world must confront together today." Sciutto asked "If this requires an international effort, is the U.S., in your view, more a leader in fighting this or, today, part of the problem?"
Guterres told CNN "I have seen in the U.S. fantastic demonstrations of anti-racism. I've seen the youths in the leadership of those demonstrations and to a certain extent, this movement has spread all over the world. The U.S. Is an enormous influence. The soft power of the U.S. is something that it is clear in culture, in art, in many other aspects. And so what happens in the U.S. inevitably has a strong influence in other parts of the world."
He also claimed, "And so this kind of natural leadership creates a particular responsibility for United States leaders and for the American communities because indeed what happens here is known everywhere and inevitably reflects in other parts of the world."
Sciutto concluded by seeming to suggest that white supremacy and neo-Nazism are not only popular in America, but that we are also responsible for their prevalence elsewhere: "Including, sadly, the challenge from extremism, white supremacy," he lamented.
The former Obama administration diplomat didn't ask the top UN official about China and their human rights abuses of the Uighur Muslims, immediately after they reported on the troubling Alaska "summit" on Thursday. He had to ask about anti-racism in America. The tables have turned on Sciutto. After years of accusing President Trump of being Vladimir Putin's lackey, he sounded just like a CCP hack.

JIM SCIUTTO: Finally if this requires an international effort, is the U.S., in your view, more a leader in fighting this or, today, part of the problem?
ANTONIO GUTERRES: I have seen in the U.S. fantastic demonstrations of anti-racism. I've seen the youths in the leadership of those demonstrations and to a certain extent, this movement has spread all over the world. The U.S. Is an enormous influence. The soft power of the U.S. is something that it is clear in culture, in art, in many other aspects. And so what happens in the U.S. Inevitably has a strong influence in other parts of the world. And so this kind of natural leadership creates a particular responsibility for United States leaders and for the American communities because indeed what happens here is known everywhere and inevitably reflects in other parts of the world.
SCIUTTO: Including, sadly, the challenge from extremism, white supremacy. Thanks very much to the U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres. We appreciate you taking the time.
