Watch Brian Katulis of the Center for @amprog meltdown when I point out that he is parroting the #echochamber's talking points & tweets on @realDonaldTrump's decapitation strike on #Iran's #Soleimani.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump According to Mr. Katulis, Trump's maximum pressure on #Iran only gave us maximum resistance. Our allies don't trust us and Trump has no plan because he receives different opinions for advice. Incidentally, hearing the same advice repeatedly is part of what an #echochamber does.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump If we back up to the beginning, you hear the same #echochamber talking points that Team Obama used. It shouldn't be surprising. He works at @amprog, which is headed by @neeratanden. They dislike what Trump would call, #winning 👇 americanprogress.org/press/statemen…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden For me, this was real simple. #Soleimani was traveling in the Middle East coordinating further imminent large-scale attacks against US diplomats & service members. #Iran clearly didn't get #Trump's message of deterrence when he finally responded with strikes on 5 terrorist bases.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden Nor did #Iran get the message from @SecPompeo from over a year ago: "We will not let Iran get away with using a proxy force to attack an American interest; Iran will be held accountable for those incidents." (CNN, September 21, 2018) cnn.com/2018/09/21/pol…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo A central #echochamber talking point is that the Trump admin has no plan or strategy for #Iran. They're so used to lying that they believe themselves. Here's @SecPompeo speech at @Heritage (May 2018). It's called "After the Deal: A New Iran Strategy" 🤔👇 heritage.org/defense/event/…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage Getting back to Mr. Katilus's melt down, I simply stated that the Trump admin actually has a plan and a strategy they are following for dealing with #Iran. Some are more hawkish than others. But the progressive side is fully committed to the survival of the regime in #Tehran.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage KEY POINT: So many of these people made their careers and staked their future on shilling for the Islamic regime of #Iran, which Team Obama actively promoted. So I reviewed the key policy difference between two approaches and explained why this isn't an uncontrolled escalation.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage In fact, @AcrossTheBay summed up the difference in the Obama and Trump approaches to #Iran right here. 😆
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay So once the @amprog emperor is revealed to be wearing no clothing, they throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. They are 100% wedded to defending their narrative about #Iran, despite the growing mountain of evidence against it. So is the mainstream #FakeNews media.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay In order for these echo-chamberists to sell their snake oil about #Iran, they continuously repeat the argument that Trump's policy isn't working. It helps distract from the fact that they actively promote America's enemies. I addressed this point on @EWTNNewsNightly 👇
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly .@StateDept's Brian Hook: Iran is currently in a state of panicked aggression. The regime understands very clearly the economic pressure they’re under & they also know that it’s not sustainable. So they are lashing out. They’re not used to being told no. state.gov/special-briefi…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept As I point out - just 2 hours before the US struck #Soleimani - #Iran's plan was to shift the narrative and hide the fact that most of the region is aligned against them. The #echochamber repeats this.
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept Today is no exception where the @nytimes continues to run interference for the Islamic regime of #Iran. Imagine how great it must be to lead a terrorist regime and count on a significant portion of Americans and most of the media to act as your PR firm. nytimes.com/2020/01/04/wor…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept @nytimes You'd think the @nytimes would pay attention to some of their own reporting that demonstrates what protesters in #Iraq have been fuming about. But think again. #NYTimes♥️#Iran nytimes.com/2019/11/27/wor…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept @nytimes 2 hours before the US decapitation strike against #Soleimani and #Muhandis, I explained how the #Iran-#Iraq power dynamic functions and why it led to protests. But for the @nytimes, the militias Iran controls and sent to attack our embassy in #Baghdad are merely "mourners" 🙄
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept @nytimes 2 days before the US smoked #Soleimani and #Muhandis I described the #Iran-#Iraq power dynamic and explained what happened at our embassy on the @LarryOConnor show. omny.fm/shows/the-larr…
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept @nytimes @LarryOConnor In fact, just 2 hours before the U.S. killed #Soleimani & #Muhandis, I explained who they were, what they do, and said that Soleimani is "an arch-terrorist on par with Bin Laden who we need to be focused on getting." @EWTNNewsNightly 👇
@amprog @realDonaldTrump @neeratanden @SecPompeo @Heritage @AcrossTheBay @EWTNNewsNightly @StateDept @nytimes @LarryOConnor To sum it all up, killing #Soleimani was as important as killing Bin Laden. A difference is that "with Bin Laden, revenge turned out to be a dish serve cold. With Soleimani it was served piping hot."
