Ignorant Nig Maxine Waters Takes Iran's Side In Drone Shootdown

[Jigaboons]

Politics stops at the water’s edge, as Arthur Vandenberg
famously asserted during the Truman administration. But
apparently not if the water in question is the Strait of Hormuz.
And not if the politician in question is Congresswoman Maxine
Waters (D – CA 43). After President Trump pulled the plug on the
Iran counterstrike, you’d think that the move dovish Democrats
would all be breathing a sigh of relief. (At least for a little
while.) But Waters decided that she would lay into the
President, claiming that the confrontational situation was our
fault in the first place.

Trump, you get no credit for so-called stopping the strike
against Iran. Why was the unmanned drone in Iran's airspace? Why
the surveillance? Don't provoke and then pretend innocence.

This prompted some immediate responses from some of her
colleagues, including Dan Crenshaw.

This is a shocking comment from a House Committee Chairwoman.
She is literally repeating the lies of the Iranian regime. What
a disgrace.

Maxine Waters’ hate for Trump runs so deep that she is willing
to take Iran’s side over the word of our military.

Our own Hugh Hewitt got in on the action as well.

What the appeasement caucus of left-over Obama-era Metternichs
don’t get is that Iran hasn’t changed in 40 years, and it’s
Khomeinist ideology will not allow it to change. Team 44 got
duped, got very little, recapitalized the revolution and now
objects to nat sec seriousness.

Iranian proxies ramp up attacks. @WSJ reports that European
allies are urging “restraint” by ?@realDonaldTrump? in imposing
new economic sanctions on Iran. @POTUS already exercised
restraint is swapping out missile response to drone for cyber
attack https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/23/world/middleeast/saudi-

Crenshaw and Hugh are correct here. All Maxine Waters is doing
is parroting the propaganda of the Iranian regime. And that’s
really going far over the line, even for the Democrats. The
Iranians have been growing increasingly aggressive with their
naval forces for years now, going so far as to capture two of
our own command boats in 2016. (To be fair, our sailors, in that
case, had decided to take a “shortcut” and went through Iran’s
waters, but it was still an outrageous move for such a minor
infraction.)

As far as our drone goes, unless one of them suffers a crippling
malfunction, we know where those birds are at any given moment
down to a matter of inches. They have satellite nav systems and
geolocation so the operators know precisely where they are. And
we also know exactly where Iran’s airspace begins and ends.
Sure, it’s possible that some of our operators push their luck a
bit and cross the lines from time to time, but in this case, the
Navy is saying we were definitely in international airspace.

So if it comes down to a game of We Said, They Said, and you’re
talking about the Iranian regime, whose side are you going to
take? In the case of Maxine Waters, she’s made her choice. Her
burning hatred for the President is so intense that she would
rather take the word of the Iranian Mullahs than our own
military. There’s really no nuance required in this discussion.
The woman is a disgrace.
