Proof The “MSM” Took Marco Rubio’s Comments WAY Out Of Context!

The “MSM” is tripping all over itself today trying to claim that Marco Rubio said yesterday that Israel forced the USA into striking Iran.

Here’s a short clip of a reporter trying to twist his words:

🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio EVISCERATES reports that the US only struck Iran because Israel forced us to

"If you're gonna play my statement, play the WHOLE statement! Not CLIP it to reach a narrative you want, OK?"

But Marco was having none of it.

He immediately shut down the reporter for twisting his words, and now I’m going to prove to you that he is 100% right.

And the “MSM” reporter is 100% wrong, which I know will come as a huge shock!  [sarcasm alert]

Here is the FULL CLIP with no editing from yesterday where you can see his comments have been taken completely out of context.

Watch here:

He's being taken grossly out of context. He says "no" when asked directly whether Israel prompted the strikes.

He then explained 1) This was happening regardless 2) Only that the *specific timing* was related to Israel striking Khameni.

And *we* gave them the intel to strike. https://t.co/S5szvJ7SAY

He makes completely clear the decision was made by President Trump and the decision had already been made.

It was going to happen.

The only question was as to timing.

But the “MSM” willfully spun it 180 degrees from what he actually said.

Absolutely disgusting.

I’ll end with this….

Here is President Trump flat out stating Israel did not sway his decision:

"Did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran?"@POTUS: "No… Based on the way the negotiation was going, I think [Iran] was going to attack first, and I didn't want that to happen — so if anything, I might've forced Israel's hand." pic.twitter.com/7fi44RFlge
