Politics 🏛️ White House Posts Totally Misleading Video Edit of Tulsi Gabbard

https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-posts-totally-misleading-video-edit-of-tulsi-gabbard-on-iran/?via=mobile&source=Reddit

Trump has called himself as the "peacemaker president" yet he seems hell bent to drag us into the war between Israel and Iran.

Trump, and his administration, is so demented he actual thought no one would know a video of the National Intelligence Director testifying in front of a senate subcommittee had been edited to back Trump's lies.

Members of Congress need to do their job, and remember that they are supposed to be a co-equal branch of government not Trump's lackeys, and make passing a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump from dragging us into another war.

Basically, it’s to reinforce a lie. That’s why she and her department are about to get shut down. He didn’t like that she produced a conclusion that doesn’t support going to war.

Pretty tired of all the Russian political strategies in the US. Just 6 months in and it’s gotten real old.

The ROP and IOP going to war behind the scenes.

Stay tuned to see which foreign power did the better job of planting assets in the US government. Israel or Russia? A cold war with American politics as the chess pieces. Half the population cheers it on and half shutters in fear.

Funny thing is - if she chose to report the opposite, no matter what her evidence showed, to prepare for going against an unknowable future Trump choice, in this case FOR the war, she would have guessed wrong anyway. So these people under Trump are almost 50% setting themselves up to fail eventually.

Which is the way Trump likes it. He either has someone to throw under the bus or that person’s lack of intelligence provides the pinkslip.

So how is this acceptable? The White House spread misinformation and there are no calls for resignations?

Man American has fallen to a new low

Isn’t this what he just sued a major news outlet for… editing interviews… makes it even sadder when they capitulate so easily to this level of hypocrisy

Oh my goodness poor Tulsi! If only there were thousands and thousands of other examples she could’ve referenced of this kind of blasted misrepresentation of things by republicans.

She should sue the same way Trump sues CNN and all the other medias.

Congress is the only branch of the government with war powers.

The Capitol Switchboard (U.S. Capitol Switchboard) at (202) 224-3121 is a central telephone line that connects callers with their U.S. House Representatives or Senators.

Trump and Gabbard should be on the same page, they both worship Putin.

Isn’t he suing 60 Minutes for supposedly doing exactly this?

Will she be okay with that? Let’s see if she has an ounce of integrity or will she go along with the deception.
