An intriguing contrast was drawn by Hanson regarding the treatment of individuals in power based on race, positing that if a different dynamic were at play, public perception and media reaction would be vastly different.

As protests unfolded, broader issues were discussed, including the perceived failures of U.S. foreign policy and cultural diplomacy. Hanson criticized the practice of promoting progressive values in traditional societies, which he argues has backfired and alienated many against American influence overseas. He articulated that the current administration's liberal agenda, particularly surrounding LGBTQ+ issues, often comes across as cultural imperialism, alienating traditional societies in the Middle East and Asia.
