'Clear as mud': Rubio mocked as he tries to explain war before Trump's big TV speech

04/01/26 6:58 PM

Secretary of State Marco Rubio took a shot at trying to explain the Iran war to the nation before President Donald Trump was scheduled to appear on television networks hours later.In a video posted by the White House this week, Rubio offered the administration's latest excuse for attacking Iran. The secretary's X account also shared the video on Wednesday ahead of Trump's address."Let me explain," the secretary of state offered. "Iran wants to have nuclear weapons. Of that, there is zero doubt.""But why the attack now?" he continued. "Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way. We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk."The Trump administration has also pointed to regime change, a planned strike by Israel, an imminent threat of attack, and destroying other parts of Iran's military as excuses for the war. Last year, Trump had repeatedly claimed that Iran's nuclear program had been "obliterated."Rubio's latest explanation was met with criticism online."Yup, clear as mud. Now we are making Israel a superpower...that wasn't on my Middle East bingo card," Danny Layaou wrote."That's not foreign policy language. That's a defense contractor earnings call," Wall Street Balance Sheet noted."This government has to be the most confused one, everyday you keep coming up with different excuses as to why you're losing the war you started," Oko Oyinbo observed."It's the Christian Zionists who have an apocalyptic vision of the future. Your brilliant stunt has now enabled Iran to collect tolls from every ship passing through Hormuz," Lucy Liu commented.

Conservative viewers unhappy about the war in Iran overwhelmed the pro-MAGA Real America's Voice network with emails opposing President Donald Trump.During the Human Events show on Monday, host Jack Posobiec spent nearly 10 minutes reading mail from people who had voted for Trump.While a minority supported the war in Iran, the vast majority of viewers expressed concerns about Operation Epic Fury."Cannot dispute the fact that the U.S. and Israel have clearly won this operation," a viewer named Chuck said. "However, if there is a regime change that excludes the Ayatollahs and basically returns Iran to pre-1979, it will have been a loss. We can't continue bombing campaigns every two years, wasting tax dollars."Ted, 78, called the war "a necessary step for the gospel to be presented before the rapture."Many commenters noted that Republicans were in danger of losing midterm elections because of the war. Others pointed out that prices were rising.Read some of the remarks from viewers below."Wasting tax dollars.""Diesel prices are sky high.""Halting our likelihood of success in the midterms.""This war is the stupidest thing ever.""A complete betrayal and flip-flop of the no new wars policy.""A trap that will last months, if not years.""Hate this war.""It is destroying MAGA.""The Dems will win the House.""The worst thing Trump has done.""Hurting the very people that Trump has fought for.""Gas is $4 a gallon.""This economy will tank.""Don't feel this was America first.""Very disappointing.""Not what he promised.""Fearful for our nation's future.""Not happy at all.""Trump has not been true to his word.""We're going to lose the House and Senate.""I voted for Trump, and I want my vote back.""The most infuriating one to two months.""Completely at my wits' end.""The opposite of what I voted for""Unnecessary side quest.""The potential to wreck the trump presidency.""Disgusted by this war.""I'm going independent, but will likely never vote again.""Feel like it's useless.""I'm done voting, period.""A straight con job.""War should be a last resort."
