"Insane the kinda crap they get away with saying to the media."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt drew fierce criticism Tuesday over comments that critics said once again reduced Donald Trump’s justification for attacking Iran to what they described as little more than a feeling.
Leavitt was asked during a press briefing where Trump had gotten the information behind his claim that Iran was about to strike U.S. targets within three days had he not launched the attack, dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
“That’s not the first time the president has said that he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury because he felt as though Iran was going to strike the United States and our assets in the region first,” Leavitt replied.
She then added:
“This was a feeling the president had based on facts.”
