Well-called. You're right: it's solely an emotional, sensationalist comment and opinion, lacking any data, research, or facts, or even a mere slightest allusion to the comment having been derived based off data, research, or facts. Just an emotional opinion and comment.
Unfortunately, we've become so desensitized to the constant bombardment of "information" and shear magnitude of data to process and remember daily, especially from our "side" (either side honestly), that we can no longer even parse simple language and the real value of the words we're being given. That comment is blatantly just an inflammatory comment, without anything at all behind it except essentially a "journalist", and an editor, both of which are presumably highly-politically biased in USA in 2017, of course.
