Watch the Anti-Trump Reflex Short-Circuit the Left’s Iran Argument

On Bill Maher's Friday show, he let loose on the topic of Operation Epic Fury against Iran. He nailed Iran for its long history of wrongdoing and noted how the Iranian people celebrated the action.

Warning for graphic language: 

This week, war. Did you hear about that thing?

We bombed Iran, and it’s going on now. If you expected me to say I hate it, I don’t. Sorry.

Sorry. And you cannot name one horrible thing that has happened in the Middle East in the last 50 years and not connect it to this fascist theocracy.

Iranians all over the world are doing the Trump dance.

But he wasn't finished yet. He also took on the Democrats' ridiculous reaction to the effort against Iran with this terrific pummeling of their philosophy and Kamala Harris.

“Kamala Harris made a statement. She said, ‘This is a war the American people don’t want," Maher explained. Then he dropped her, "And who knows more about what the American people don’t want?”

He's right. Democrats, such as Kamala Harris, oppose the military action against Iran because President Donald Trump did it. That's how they measure everything. If a Democrat had done it, instead of being weak and propping up the mullahs, they would have praised it to the skies. It's how they judge everything — their philosophy/policy is always based on being anti-Trump.

Maher had one more to take down. He laid a brilliant trap for Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to prove his point, and Schiff fell right into it.

MAHER: “This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That’s too vague for you?” 

SCHIFF: “Totally vague.” 

MAHER: “Okay. Because that’s from Obama about Libya.”

Oof, watch Schiff scramble. He even ends up talking about Syria when the question was about Libya, where Barack Obama engaged in months of military campaign without Congressional approval. He proves Maher's greater point: It's not about right or wrong, or correct policy; it's always about being opposite to Trump. After ten years, this is still all the Democrats have. 

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
