The Attack on Iran Was To ‘Distract Us From The Epstein Files’

Video Description

Days after the Trump administration joined forces with Israel to launch an illegal attack on Iran, the White House’s messaging on why they had no choice but to wage this war continues to shift. But Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, says there was one main reason Trump went to war with Iran and spoiler: it wasn’t because of an “imminent threat.” It was an attack to distract us from the Epstein Files. Carson says that not only is he deeply concerned about the safety of Americans abroad, he’s also worried about the possibility of retaliation on US soil. In the wide-ranging interview, Mehdi and Carson discussed whether a war powers resolution will pass in the Republican-controlled Congress, the “double standard” of Democrats supporting Obama’s 2011 attack on Libya without congressional approval and whether anti-war voters swayed by Trump in the 2024 election have buyer’s remorse. •This interview was published on zeteo.com over a week ago.
