Stefanik getting defensive is basically admitting he said the quiet part out loud, but sure let's pretend it was just a misunderstanding.
Trump's post was fine, mainstream media just cant handle when he actually talks straight instead of reading from a teleprompter like a robot!
Convenient how Tapper waits until gas prices are through the roof to start lecturing Trump about Iran rhetoric, almost like they need a distraction from how bad things are getting at the pump.
Tapper does this every single time, its so predictable! The guy finds the most extreme interpretation possible and then acts shocked when anyone disagrees with him.
Tapper's just doing what CNN pays him to do, protect the oil industry while they act like theyre concerned about climate!
so trump posts something crazy on truth social and his people spend all day on tv explaining what he "really meant," sounds about right
Trump's been lying about Iran negotiations for weeks now and suddenly everyone's supposed to believe he has some breakthrough deal because he posted about it online? This is exactly how we ended up with record gas prices in the first place.
Trump's finally taking action instead of letting career bureaucrats mess everything up like the last administration did!
both sides need to chill with this stuff, tapper's not wrong to push back but "call for genocide" is a stretch and stefanik knows it
Tapper's got a point pushing back on the rhetoric, but "genocide" is a stretch and Stefanik knows it, which is why she's mad instead of just explaining what he actually meant.
