Karoline Leavitt Invents Another Justification For Iran Attack
Trump spokesliar Karoline Leavitt made an appearance on Trump's daughter-in-law Lara's show on Fox this Saturday and came up with this new head-spinning response as to why the US supposedly needed to attack Iran in the first place, while also lying about why Joe Biden released oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
TRUMP: I do want to talk about energy. Americans are obviously seeing a temporary increase in gas prices as Iran is, you know, trying to impede movement there in the Strait of Hormuz.
We're now utilizing our strategic petroleum reserve. This is what it is supposed to be used for, right? This is the time whenever a president taps it, not as they're going into an election like we've seen in the past.
But what is your message to people out there in the country right now who might be concerned to see this blip and this increase in gas prices?
LEAVITT: We understand your concerns. We hear you and we are taking them into account and we have a plan to address them. And this is a temporary short term disruption in global oil prices that the president is ultimately going to rectify by wiping out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime.
And the fact that the terrorists are holding the global oil industry hostage by threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz and traffic through the strait just underscores the need for President Trump to launch this operation in the first place.
