Proper-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson launched a video Tuesday to tease his upcoming interview with GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. The temporary clip includes a tense trade about potential U.S. involvement in Israel’s battle on Iran.
Carlson: How many individuals reside in Iran, by the way in which?
Cruz: I do not know the inhabitants
Carlson: In any respect?
Cruz: No, I don’t know the inhabitants.
Carlson: You do not know the inhabitants of the nation you search to topple?
Cruz: How many individuals reside in Iran?
Carlson: 92 million.
Cruz: Okay.
Carlson: How may you not know that?
Cruz: I do not sit round memorizing inhabitants tables.
Carlson: Properly, it is type of related since you’re calling for the overthrow of the federal government.
Although predictable, Cruz’s ignorance about Iran completely encapsulates the GOP’s hysterical method to conflicts within the Center East.
Over the weekend, Cruz appeared on Fox Information’ “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo” the place he declared, “I don’t think there’s any redeeming the Ayatollah. He is filled with hatred.”
On the identical time, President Donald Trump has been stoking the embers of battle, bombarding social media with one among his signature unhinged squalls about Iran, threatening potential U.S. involvement. And he continued to play the mad king, dismissing the intelligence assessments of his personal Director of Nationwide Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who said in March that Iran “is not building a nuclear weapon.”
As the USA edges nearer towards battle, it definitely doesn’t encourage confidence to see that the supposed braintrust backing Trump appears to be equally uninformed concerning the nation he needs to decimate.
It appears like someone’s emotions acquired damage.
