MSNBC Reporter Hyperventilates As Trump Allows White South Africans Into US

President Donald Trump’s decision to offer refuge to a small group of white South African farmers fleeing violent persecution has ignited predictable outrage from the mainstream media, with accusations of racism flying despite the president’s clear humanitarian intent.

The farmers, part of a dwindling Afrikaner minority in South Africa, have faced years of targeted attacks and land seizures under the guise of “redistribution.” But when President Trump offered sanctuary to 49 of them, citing the ongoing violence, left-wing media pundits immediately shifted focus—not to the brutality these families have endured—but to the color of their skin.

“Because they’re being killed, and we don’t want to see people be killed,” the president said at a press conference when asked why the United States was offering refuge to the Afrikaner farmers. “Now, South Africa leadership is coming to see me, I understand, sometime next week. And you know, we’re supposed to have a—I guess a G20 meeting there or something. But we’re having a G20 meeting. I don’t know how we can go unless that situation’s taken care of.”

President Trump didn’t mince words when addressing the violent targeting of farmers: “It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about, but it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place,” he said. “And farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.”

He continued, “I don’t care who they are. I don’t care about their race, their color. I don’t care about their height, their weight… I just know that what’s happening is terrible.” Then, calling out the media’s double standard, he added, “If it were the other way around, they’d talk about it. That would be the only story they’d talk about.”

Despite the clear humanitarian basis of the decision, MSNBC’s Yamiche Alcindor launched into an emotional tirade, accusing the Trump administration of racial bias for aiding the Afrikaners while ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for certain other groups.

“I’ve been talking to a number of people who say it’s heartbreaking that the Trump administration has ended TPS for Afghans,” Alcindor claimed. She quoted the administration’s explanation: “We have reviewed the conditions in Afghanistan with our interagency partners, and they do not meet the requirements for TPS designation.”

Alcindor went on to argue, “Afghanistan is a country that now has all these regulations against women. They can’t go to school, they can’t speak in public, even.” She noted that some people are in hiding after assisting the U.S. military—but omitted the crucial distinction between legal and illegal pathways, and the fact that TPS is a temporary designation, not a backdoor to permanent residency.

MSNBC anchor Katy Tur chimed in with a pointed question: “It is surprising. All right, so what is different about these Afrikaners who have been allowed to come into the country, these 49 Afrikaners?”

Alcindor responded, “Well, it’s a big question, and it’s a key question here. We know that the Trump administration suspended the refugee resettlement program, saying that essentially we didn’t have space for this.” She read from an earlier DHS statement: “The United States lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants, and in particular, refugees, into its communities.” That policy, she noted, was designed to ensure proper assimilation.

But Alcindor quickly pivoted to race: “I’ve been talking to folks, and they say, really, this is about race. They think—especially some South Africans who fled after the apartheid and the racist regime there—I talked to some people who told me that they feel like this is the President essentially taking the side of people who are white over Black refugees, including in places like Sudan and the Congo.”

“So, the Trump administration there is saying that essentially these white South Africans assimilate better, and they’re also not as much of a security risk. That’s really causing a lot of people to be appalled, frankly,” she added.

What Alcindor ignored, however, is that crime statistics and independent reports have repeatedly highlighted that white farmers in South Africa are disproportionately targeted in brutal attacks—often tortured, raped, and murdered in ways far beyond common criminality. Yet the media prefers to suppress these facts in favor of a divisive narrative.

This administration’s refugee policy is not about race—it’s about reality. It prioritizes safety, stability, and cultural cohesion, and it stands against genuine persecution wherever it is found. The mainstream media’s outrage is less about compassion and more about pushing a political agenda, one that undermines lawful action and common sense.

President Donald Trump, once again, is standing up for the voiceless—even when the politically correct crowd would rather he didn’t.
