Trump Has Been Like Putin, ‘Straight Up Lying’ About the Iran Conflict
On CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” Friday, political commentator Adam Kinzinger said President Donald Trump was acting like Russian President Vladimir Putin by “outright lying” about military conflicts.
Kinzinger said: “Let’s just look at the bombing of the girls’ school, a very tragic accident. Accidents happen in war. I don’t think we’ve ever had a conflict without something bad happening. But that’s certainly not our intention. And every administration, well, in recent memory, at least every administration will admit that. They’ll say we’re investigating how this happened. We’re really sorry and we’re moving on.” thing. Donald Trump was like Vladimir Putin in this area. You I know, Vladimir Putin bombs something in Ukraine, which he does every day, I just want to be clear, and then he will accuse the Ukrainians of having done it. He said that the Iranians had a Tomahawk cruise missile, which only the United States has.
He added: “I mean, look, I understand that the Pentagon and Hegseth and Trump have to try to put a positive spin on this. I don’t blame them. That’s part of the job of trying to sell a war. But to lie straight up and then attack the news for doing their job. CNN hasn’t been like showing how horrible everything is. CNN has been reporting the news as the news comes out, and what they want is a North Korea-style group who shakes his head, yes, the great leader says everything is fine.
