What led to Donald Trump's attack on the MeidasTouch network?
Donald Trump is attacking the Midas touch network over our coverage of his disastrous war in Iran. He's also attacking the Midas touch network. Then 24 hours of the Midas touch network winning podcast of the year, uh, for the news category in the I heart awards that just took place and shout out to I heart. We're grateful for that award. Donald Trump and his regime kept on referring to us as dumbasses yesterday on social media. Not every day where you're called a dumbass by the White House. Something I will tell my daughter when she's older. The White House called me a dumbass because I called out their unlawful war that has destroyed the United States of America. Let me show you what went down. So we were exposing the hypocrisy of the White House.
What else is new?
How did the MeidasTouch network respond to Trump's accusations?
They lie about everything where they were trying to say, of course, Iran poses a threat to the United States, an imminent threat. That's why we had to invade. So then we just showed a post of Caroline Leavitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, when she previously wrote, to be clear, no such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did, to which we were called a dumbass by the official White House rapid response account. No such threat to our homeland of Iran launching a drone offensive on our West Coast, dumbasses so let's just rewind and let me show you what happened and what we then said to the white house and trump in response that has since gone mega viral but first this ultra maga right-wing extremist by the name of joe kent who has been serving as the director of the national counter-terrorism center
He resigned from his position, objecting to Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran. He said that this war is a war of choice, that Iran did not pose any imminent threat to the United States, essentially that it is a betrayal to the MAGA movement. And while this guy, Joe Kent, is certainly a right wing extremist who has said and done some of the most heinous things that we've called out. He did previously serve like in 11 combat tours. He is a husband of his wife died in Syria in 2019, a gold star husband.
What was the significance of the I Heart Awards for MeidasTouch?
And amongst the kind of far-right MAGAs, they like this guy, even though we call him out. So him saying that Donald Trump betrayed the MAGA movement and him resigning his position, and he did it in a very kind of dramatic fashion. He's tulsi gabbard's number two he told tulsi he was going to resign and told like wait wait wait just speak to jd vance you got to go to the white house so he went to the white house he told jd vance that he was going to resign handed the resignation letter now he's i think going to be going on tucker carlson and so he posted his resignation that it's a betrayal of maga That post went mega viral, like over 75 million views on ex formerly Twitter in a period of 24 hours.
So in response, Caroline Levitt got all nervous. And so she responded to Joseph Kent saying that Iran did not pose an imminent threat. that we were dragged into this war by netanyahu and israel and that this will be a catastrophe for the united states of america so caroline levitt says in response to joseph kent she goes there are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically that Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over. As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.
The evidence was compiled from many sources and many factors. We're not going to tell you, but many sources and many factors. So we just responded to Caroline Leavitt with her own post. So, Caroline Leavitt, a week or so ago, posted the following with respect to a story by ABC that Iran was potentially going to attack the United States and potentially looking to attack the West Coast, California and LA, by the way, where I live. Caroline Leavitt previously wrote, This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people.
