'Aren't they?': Shireen Mazari responds to US journalist who said 'Americans aren't stupid'

Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari has caused a bit of a stir on social media.

In her tweet, Mazari cites Prime Minister Imran Khan’s interview with the Washington Post and objects a statement by journalist Lally Weymouth who said: "But the Americans aren't stupid, come on" to Khan.

“Aren’t they (Americans)?” questions Shireen in her tweet, citing US' 'failed military adventures overseas'

Mazari also commended PM Imran for a 'great' interview despite 'biased' comments and questions by Weymouth.

People are not too impressed with the minister’s remarks. Of course, every country has its share of stupidity but generalizing never works, does it?

‘Pakistan minister for human rights asserts that Americans are stupid and a failure. Quite rich.’

This user believes America is not ‘stupid’. Quite on the contrary, it is pretty ‘clever’.

People are also not liking Mazari’s opinions on foreign matters. Come on now, everyone deserves to have an opinion.
