MAGA Senator’s Awkward ‘War’ Claim Unravels Within Seconds

The Republican's point crumbled when reporters pointed out what he'd JUST said. He then admitted it "was a misspoke."

Whether or not America is actually engaged in war with Iran has become a point of contention among President Donald Trump’s MAGA allies.

On Tuesday, one Republican senator inadvertently appeared to argue both sides of the question — within an awkward matter of seconds.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) — who on Monday went viral with his “smell” of war remark, despite never having served in the military — at first defended the U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran when he told reporters: “This is war and we’re taking out the threat.”

CNN’s Manu Raju noted: “You will concede this is war.”

Mullin defensively responded: “We haven’t declared war. They declared war on us but we haven’t.”
