Faye and David 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @sixfamily.bsky.social · 07/10/20262/10 I've seen many claims that Trump "encouraged Iran to destroy Los Angeles and San Diego" during his Nebraska speech. That claim deserves scrutiny, because accuracy matters more than outrage. 100
Faye and David 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @sixfamily.bsky.social · 07/10/20263/10 The quote being circulated is: "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego." Read by itself, it sounds shocking. But serious analysis requires reading the surrounding remarks, not just the most inflammatory sentence. 100
Faye and David 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @sixfamily.bsky.social · 07/10/20264/10 Immediately before those remarks, Trump was discussing the economic costs of the war with Iran and arguing that those costs were "a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe." 100
