MAGA Reporter Grills Karoline Leavitt on Whether Trump Is Listening to ‘RINO Warmonger’ Lindsey Graham
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was grilled by Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson over whether President Donald Trump is heeding the advice of “RINO warmonger” Lindsey Graham during Thursday’s press briefing.
It was the first briefing since Israel preemptively attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities, which has escalated not only tensions in U.S. foreign affairs and the Middle East, but caused a massive fracture in a now fragile coalition of MAGA supporters that includes both “America First” isolationists and the more traditional pro-Israel interventionists.
CONRADSON: Karoline, thank you. So, RINO warmonger, Lindsey Graham, he recently called on the U.S. to go all in and finish the job…
LEAVITT: That’s quite the lead in to a question.
(laughter)
CONRADSON: What’s your message to everyday Trump supporters, not the Tucker Carlsons or other big names, but everyday Trump supporter’s grassroots who voted for President Trump to stop the wars, rejected this in the primary, going into another war with voting against Nikki Haley, and they want to see non-U.S. involvement in this war. What’s you message?
LEAVITT: Trust in President Trump. President Trump has incredible instincts, and President Trump kept America and the world safe in his first term as president in implementing a peace-through-strength foreign-policy agenda. And with respect to Iran, nobody should be surprised by the President’s position that Iran absolutely cannot obtain. A nuclear weapon. He’s been unequivocally clear about this for decades, not just as president, not just as a presidential candidate, but also as a private citizen. In fact, I have some quotes for you. In 2011, President Trump said, America’s primary goal with Iran must be to destroy its nuclear ambitions. We cannot allow this radical regime to acquire a nuclear weapons that they will either use or hand off to terrorists. In 2015, the president said the problem is that Iran poses the next essential threat to Israel, our Middle Eastern allies, and the United States. And, of course, the President has repeated that in his first term as President and his second term as president as well. That’s why he was adamantly opposed to the disastrous Iranian nuclear agreement that was implemented by President Obama. And it’s why has given great latitude and given a lot of effort to achieving a diplomatic solution. But he’s been very clear, Iran went for 60 days when he gave them that 60-day warning without coming to the table. On day 61, Israel took action against Iran. And as I just told you from the president directly, he will make a decision within two weeks.
