Yea the definition of what is a “liberal” can change from being a blue haired progressive to a secular xenophobe depending on the contextIt could be that @Aurelian spoke without the context we're discussing, referencing Liberals like Biden instead of the news agency. In the way that these Liberals are known to take "conservative" social positions of the xenophobic kind when it comes to Muslims, which happens. I have heard far-left Liberals talk like far-right when it comes to Muslims, pushing ignorant tropes of barbarism.
