‘Will Pay A Price’: New York Post Warns Trump Admin Over War Group Chat Spin
HuffPost
The tabloid's editorial board wrote about new trust issues with the Trump White House.
Even the New York Post is less than impressed with how President Donald Trump’s administration is handling the fallout of the accidental addition of The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat in which top Trump officials talked about a war strike in Yemen.
As the officials involved — including Fox News personality-turned-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — try to spin their way out of the scandal, the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid’s editorial board warned Tuesday of potential consequences among voters in an op-ed with the headline: “Team Trump will pay a price for whistling past the Signal group-chat fiasco.”
“Yes, we get that stepping up to own failures is hard,” the usually-Trump boosting board acknowledged. “But it just got that much harder for Americans to trust the administration on national-security issues going forward.”
“At the very least, we pray the prez is privately knocking hard on every head involved in this mess — and warning that heads will roll if there’s anything like a next time,” it concluded. “The American people need to know Trump is still fighting for them, not lying to them.”
