- Nancy Mace Tells Trump, ‘Take Lindsey Graham Out of the Situation Room’
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) offered some advice to President Donald Trump amid the ongoing war in Iran: do not take counsel from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Hostilities with Iran are about to enter a second month after the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran has responded by firing missiles and drones at Israel, U.S. military bases in the region, and oil facilities in Gulf states. Iran has also closed the Strait of Hormuz, but has allowed some ships to pass through so long as they pay a hefty fee at what may be the world’s priciest toll. Graham visited Trump at the White House and also Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel several times in recent months to make the case for war against Iran. The senator reportedly coached Netanyahu on how to lobby Trump for the war. Mace appeared on Wednesday’s Laura Coates Live on CNN, where the host played a clip of Graham urging Trump to seize Iran’s Kharg Island, which is located in the Persian Gulf. “So here’s what I’d tell President Trump,” Graham said on Fox News Sunday. “Keep it up for a few more weeks. Take Kharg Island, where all of the resources they have to produce oil, control that island. Let this regime die on a vine… We got two Marine expeditionary units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima. We can do this.” “I know you take issue with several points he’s raised, including Iwo Jima and the loss of American lives there,” Laura Coates told Mace. “Seven thousand Marines died on the black sands of Iwo Jima,” Mace replied. “So explain your opposition to his statements about Kharg Island or the idea of allowing the regime to die on a vine,” Coates told the lawmaker. “I want President Trump to take Lindsey Graham out of the situation room,” Mace said. “Is he advising the president?” “He brags about it,” the congresswoman responded. “And I don’t think Lindsey Graham, for all of that hubris, has thought through or wargamed the consequences of us taking Kharg Island.” Watch above via CNN.The post Nancy Mace Tells Trump, ‘Take Lindsey Graham Out of the Situation Room’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Liberals slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday for awarding President Donald Trump a newly created award. Johnson presented Trump with a golden statue at the annual National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser, announcing that the committee had created the honor as a “token of our appreciation for his leadership.” “We’re going to do something we’ve never done before. We’re going to honor him with a new award that we’ll present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First Award,” said Johnson. “We could think of no better title for what that is. That’s this beautiful golden statue here. Appropriate for the new golden era in America.” Many on the left were quick to decry the move, calling out the Republican Party for its fawning treatment of the president. “They have to treat the President like a child,” wrote Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI). “So embarrassing for everyone involved.” They have to treat the President like a child.

AP Photo/Charlie Riedel Iranian officials have urged civilians in the Gulf region to report the locations of U.S. soldiers working out of hotels and office spaces in the area. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Iran’s retaliatory attacks on U.S. bases in the Middle East have sent soldiers scrambling to work from safer facilities that are less likely to be targeted, according to American officials. The Times reported that “thousands” of the 40,000 troops stationed in the region when the war began on Feb. 28 have been relocated. That, according to retired Master Sgt. Wes J. Bryant, complicates matters. “Yes, we have the ability to set up expedient operation centers, but you’re absolutely going to lose capability,” Bryant, a former U.S. Air Special Operations targeting specialist, told the Times. “You can’t just put all that equipment on the top of a hotel, for example. Some of it is unwieldy.” In response to the relocations, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has told people in the region to report the whereabouts of U.S. soldiers: “We are forced to identify and target the Americans,” the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said in a message to people in the region, according to Tasnim News Agency. “Therefore, it is better not to shelter them in hotels and to stay away from their locations.” The message added that “it is your Islamic duty to accurately report the hiding places of American terrorists and send the information to us on Telegram,” a social media app. The U.S. and Israel have long accused various Islamist groups, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, of using civilians as “human shields” by stationing military personnel, weaponry, or other assets in residential areas in Gaza and Lebanon, respectively. Thirteen U.S. soldiers and more than 1,500 Iranians have died since the war began. Eighteen Israelis have also been killed, as well as more than 1,000 Lebanese, amid Israel’s invasion of the country.The post Iran Accuses U.S. of Using Human Shields After American Soldiers Relocate to Hotels and Offices in the Middle East first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - Democrat John Fetterman Acknowledges, ‘I Am More Popular With Republicans’ Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) acknowledged on Wednesday that he is “more popular” among Republicans, but said he nonetheless finds this “confusing.” On Monday, Fetterman was the lone Democrat to vote to confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as Secretary of Homeland Security. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, Fetterman had voted to advance Mullin’s nomination out of the committee, which turned out to be the deciding vote because committee Chair Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against Mullin. Fetterman has sided with Republicans and President Donald Trump in some other notable votes. Early this month, he was the only Democratic senator to vote against a war powers resolution that sought to rein in Trump’s war on Iran. During multiple government shutdowns, Fetterman has sided with the GOP in voting to fund the government, rather than hold out with most Senate Democrats who sought concessions in exchange for their votes. Moreover, he unequivocally supported Israel in the war in Gaza. The senator appeared on Wednesday’s edition of Cuomo on NewsNation, where he disputed a Quinnipiac poll showing him 40 points underwater with Pennsylvania Democrats after 68 points above water in 2023, a remarkable 108-point swing. “That’s just not accurate,” Fetterman insisted. “You know, there is one that’s not valid. There was one around that same time that I’m 50-50 with Democrats.” Fetterman then cited Morning Consult data that showed he is more popular among Republicans than Democrats. “Morning Consult came out roughly at the same time,” he said. “And I’m at road 48, 49 with Democrats. And I was in the 60s for Republicans, without a doubt. For some strange way, I am more popular with Republicans, which is– it’s confusing because I vote in the 90s Dem line. And I haven’t voted for the big ticket [items] Trump wants, like the big beautiful bill or SAVE Act, and for those things. So, I mean, there’s a lot of misinformation, I guess. But I am guilty of being a very proud supporter of Israel. And I do support [Operation] Epic Fury.” Watch above via NewsNation.The post Democrat John Fetterman Acknowledges, ‘I Am More Popular With Republicans’ first appeared on Mediaite.
