Sky News host Rita Panahi calls the modern left "dangerously delusional" after The View host Whoopi Goldberg compared the human rights abuses under the Iranian regime to life in the US.
"She [Whoopi Goldberg] thinks America and Iran are the same, the human rights abuses are the same, the fact that more than 90 million people are oppressed and the women doubly so, systematically subjugated by a brutal regime, she thinks that's the same as America." Ms Panahi said.
"This is the modern left, folks, dumb, dishonest and dangerously delusional."
