The insult of Lebanese Minister Gebran Bassil on air by a news reporter ignites social media with gloating
Social media carried a clip from an on-air interview with Lebanese Minister Gibran Bassil with CNN, which was started by the news anchor in an insulting manner to the Lebanese Minister Basil, and the comments by the followers were no less insulting and harsh against Bassil.
The literal translation of what she said to Gibran: “I invited you to my program, not because you represent the Lebanese, but in fact because you do not represent them. For millions of Lebanese, you represent the nepotism and corruption of a ruling elite that has plunged the country into a pit of despair. I invited you as the head of the largest parliamentary bloc and the most influential person in the government. I called you as the supervisor of a ministry that plunged the country into half the public debt and cut off electricity to the Lebanese for more than twenty hours a day. I called you here to ask, when do you intend to assume your personal and professional responsibility for today’s crisis?”
This meeting was after the horrific event that the city of Beirut was exposed to, due to the huge explosion in the port of Beirut.
