Brennan Corners Rep. Turner Over Trump's Shifting Goalposts
Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan took her role seriously as she searched and destroyed Rep. Mike Turner, a member of the Armed Services committee, for claiming Trump's intent and goals have been very clear to the American public.
They have not.
Instead of asking basic questions, Brennan attacked the lies the administration has been telling the country and took the time to outline Donald Trump's constant changing positions on Iran.
A flustered Rep. Turner tried to interrupt the outpouring of vital information, but she refused to be stopped.
BRENNAN: So use of the president has been very clear here in his goals and intent. Our polling shows the American people aren't persuaded in the same way you are. Let me run through some of the things he said on the Hormuz Strait.
At the outset of the war, March 3, he said the Navy would begin escorting tankers no matter what the US will ensure the free flow of energy to the world.
March 9, he said he was still thinking about taking it over.
March 15, he said it was someone else's problem.Our allies would take care of it.
Maybe we shouldn't even be there.
We don't need it.
We have a lot of oil.
Six days later, he threatened online the US would attack Iran's power plants if it didn't open the strait within 48 hours.
March 26, he went back to blaming allies, saying he's disappointed in NATO.
