Whackaloon GOP Rep Insists 'Military Strikes And Invasions Are Two Different Things'
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna once again lives up to her name. The Trump sycophant made an appearance on MS Now's The Weekend Primetime this Sunday, and was pressed by all of the hosts on the justification for Trump and Israel's strikes on Iran and Trump's refusal to go to Congress for authorization, and the MAGA apologist defended the strikes as "targeted" and "strategic" — not an act of war — and said Congress would not vote on a war declaration.
Luna's nonsense drew lots of pushback from Catherine Rampell, Elise Jordan, and Ayman Mohyeldin.
After Luna insisted that "it is not the intention of the U.S. government to invade. That is not what is happening. These are isolated, strategic, large-scale attacks," Rampell pushed back. "I'm sorry. You say it's not the intention of the U.S. government to invade? Did we not just invade?"
"We are not invading. Are you saying boots-on-the-ground there? Because I'm not," Luna insisted. "And I've been told directly by the State Department and the White House that that's not the intention."
The exchange grew heated at Rampell cut in: "I mean, we just killed the leader of the country."
Luna continued to insist that "strategic military strikes and invasions are two totally different things," and said she was told by Hegseth that "strategic strikes are not war," which was countered by Rampell noting that even Trump was calling it a war.
