MSNBC anchors Mehdi Hasan and Ayman Mohyeldin on Sunday mocked the male conservative meltdown over the new Barbie film.

These are grown men losing their minds over a movie about a doll, Hasan said of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), conservative commentator Ben Shapiro and other figures on the right who appear to have declared war on the box-office hit.

What has happened to the conservative movement? There was a time when conservatives had substantive things to say about taxes, regulation, defense, foreign policy, said Hasan.

Now, he said, its Barbie this, Dr. Seuss that, Bud Light, Mr. Potato Head, the skin color of the Little Mermaid. Its ridiculous. Its childish. Its pretty pathetic actually.

Dont forget the M&Ms, replied Mohyeldin. Youre totally right. Its beyond pathetic.

Mohyeldin noted the desperation and arrogance of Cruz and Shapiro, who claim to speak for the masses. But they are once again wrong, he said, citing blockbuster opening box office statistics for the film.

Americans were excited to see this movie, they know its just a movie and not some sinister ploy to brainwash the masses, he added.
