Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Florida, went scorched earth on an MS NOW host over the topic of Iran.
Luna joined The Weekend: Primetime, where host Ayman Mohyeldin challenged her assertion that Iran was “responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Americans.”
Watch:
“You said, what if a bomb went off in the United States, right? For over 40 years, the Iranian government and regime has been responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Americans, not to mention state-sponsored terrorism. And so did the president do the right thing? Has he been consistent in this? Absolutely,” she declared.
“Where can you just tell me really quickly, where have they killed thousands of Americans in America?” Mohyeldin pushed back, appearing to move the goalposts.
“I didn’t say they killed thousands of Americans in America. I said that they have been responsible for thousands of Americans being killed. And I think that that’s easily something that you can verify,” the lawmaker responded.
“Where? Where?” the host pressed.
“I don’t know, state-sponsored terrorism for starters,” she said. “Why don’t you…are you serious right now about that whole thing?! I’m not gonna list out exact, exact specific locations. They’ve literally been responsible for state-sponsored terrorism.”
“No, I mean, just give me — Are you talking about the Iraq war where the U.S. invaded Iraq?” Mohyeldin pressed.
“You can start out by the three that they just killed, Okay? The whole point of your network, if you want to actually talk about the facts here, I’m giving you the facts. But I’m not going to sit here and argue with you about something that’s commonly accepted,” Luna replied.
“It seems like you actually don’t have a good understanding of the facts, Congresswoman. You don’t have a good understand[ing] of the conflict,” he goaded.
“Well, I am the one that’s getting the briefings, not you. You’re a pundit offering your opinion because you want clickbait but aren’t actually interested in the substance,” she snapped.
“No, no, not at all. I was actually asking you, America launched —” he tried to justify his position before the representative cut him off.
“We can talk about the fact that Obama sent millions upon millions of dollars to the Iranian regime. Or do you not want to address that because it’s not supported by your opinion and network?” Luna asked.
“Well, it seems like you just want to filibuster. It seems like you don’t really want to have a good-faith conversation —” the host whined.
“Or you just don’t like what I’m saying,” she suggested.
“No, no, we wouldn’t have invited you on the air —” Mohyeldin said.
“This happens every time I’m on with you.” Luna pointed out.
“Yeah, and you keep coming on every time and you keep stating a lot of things that are incorrect!” the host exclaimed.
