Summary
Akilah Hughes said on MS NOW that the United States may not survive another 250 years, arguing the country is unlikely to "make it to 500" on its current path.
Hughes blamed the Trump administration for what she called a "concerted effort" to erase history, weaken public education and public works, and privatize core functions.
Aminatou Sow, appearing on the same panel, partly agreed with the pessimism but said New Yorkers' resilience showed the country still had the energy to endure.
The remarks come as debate over America’s 250th anniversary intensifies ahead of July 4, with a Reuters/Ipsos poll finding 64% of Republicans and 27% of Democrats plan to display a U.S. flag.
