MAHER: “If you had to live in the Middle East. Any city. Where would you live where you’d be comfortable in that dress?”

ANA: “I’m sure I would not be comfortable in this dress in any of the various Middle Eastern countries that have been destabilized by—”

MAHER INTERRUPTS: “Really? You’re not really blaming it on whitey, are you? You’re blaming Islam on whitey?”

ANA: “I’m not blaming Islam on whitey.”

MAHER: “But what you’re saying is we destabilize? That’s why you can’t wear that dress?”

ANA: “Did we destabilize?”

MAHER: “Wait a second.”

ANA: “We were funding terrorist organizations in Syria during the Syrian civil war starting under the Obama administration.”

MAHER: “We’re talking about your dress.”

ANA: “It looks good, I know.”

MAHER: “You’re saying you can’t wear that dress in Syria because of whitey destabilizing?”

ANA: “I didn’t say that.”

MAHER: “Okay, that’s what it sounded like… When I asked about the dress, you went right to destabilize. So is that why you couldn’t wear that dress?”

ANA: “You want me to talk about jihadism and Islam.”

MAHER: “Why won’t you? Why won’t you?”

ANA: “I don’t believe in jihadism, which is why I’m furious the United States just had significant Al Qaeda terrorists in the White House.”

MAHER: “But it’s not just jihadism that is preventing you from wearing that dress there. Are you saying every Muslim is a jihadist? I don’t think they are.”

ANA: “Bill. Bill, Bill, Bill. Let’s focus for a second.”

MAHER: “No, you won’t answer this question.”
