Reactions to President Donald Trump’s strike on Iran have been varied; but the Pod Save America guys have particularly notable takes.
Starting with Ben Rhodes, former President Barack Obama’s deputy national security advisor, who accused Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being “unconcerned about the human beings” who will “suffer” as the result of this decision.
Look:
Trump and Netanyahu seem to be totally unconcerned about the human beings – on all sides – who will suffer.

He followed that message up by calling Trump’s second term a “worst case scenario.”
Trump’s second term has been the worst case scenario.

Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions of United States Richard Grenell responded to this message by reminding Rhodes who he used to work for.
You were part of the team who gave billions of dollars to the Iranian Regime – you helped fund this terror on human beings.
Once again, President Trump is cleaning up your mess. https://t.co/DlVrqvaMk0

“You were part of the team who gave billions of dollars to the Iranian Regime – you helped fund this terror on human beings. Once again, President Trump is cleaning up your mess,” he wrote.
Former Obama Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer accused Trump of ripping up a nuclear deal put in place by the former president, as if it was the gold standard for preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons.
Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

“Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped up that deal. Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon,” Pfeiffer said.
Meanwhile, some observers have noticed a distinct lack of reaction from Valerie Jarrett.

I think they’re more concerned about the human beings who will suffer through non-action.

False. They violated Barack Obama’s useless deal. Trump is just cleaning up the mess Obama created.

Man largely responsible for the mess that lead to this chimes in.

Were you concerned about the 30,000 Iranian protesters that were killed last month?
