Somebody tell Foghorn Leghorn that the problem with Trump and Bibi getting us into another forever war isn’t the “messaging.”
Louisiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy made an appearance on this Sunday’s Face the Nation on CBS, and was asked by host Margaret Brennan about some of his questioning of Pete Hegseth before the Senate Appropriations Committee last week, and whether he was going to receive more detailed information on the Pentagon’s request for another $67 billion in funding for the Iran war and why that funding was necessary.
Brennan also mentioned recent polling that showed most Americans agreed with his call for “more straight answers” out of the administration on the war. Kennedy’s responded by basically saying Trump should keep his mouth shut, and the main problem right now is the “messaging” on the war.
BRENNAN: You were pretty sharp in your questioning there of the Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, when he asked for $67 billion in funding for the Iran war.
You said, just like our poll shows, you need more information. Did you get an agreement that you will be provided the classified detailed briefing that you say is necessary?
KENNEDY: I’m having breakfast next Wednesday with General Caine. I’ve seen the poll. It looks about right. I support the president in Iran. We all need to do a better job messaging.
