Fox News host Maria Bartiromo’s comment about Donald Trump and the Iran war had critics saying she’d almost, just almost, stumbled upon the real issue.

On Sunday, Bartiromo said as the conflict continued following the collapse of the ceasefire:
“I don’t understand how it is possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to lash out at Gulf countries and U.S. military bases because the U.S. has obliterated Iran’s military and the president continues to reiterate that.”

Trump has repeatedly falsely claimed that Iran’s military has been totally and utterly defeated during the conflict he launched in February.
Critics suggested there was a simpler explanation, that Trump was lying and Bartiromo had fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
“Boy this is a tough one, since Trump is so truthful,” snarked former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) in response.
Other commenters struck a similarly mocking tone:

Concentrate, say it again. Oh, the president lied.

You might have to consider the possibility that Trump lied. I know, hard to believe that might be case. https://t.co/qjORmuxFIP

Fox News should get some journalists on this immediately to get to the bottom of it!

The President says one thing. The evidence provided by your own senses says something else.
Fox News: I’m not sure what to believe here.

She’s so close! At least she’s asking the question, out loud, so viewers can ask themselves why it is that Trump’s statements on Iran are NEVER in line with reality. At some point they have to realize the man can’t tell the truth, because it’s Operation Epic Blunder.

It’s a mystery to you Maria because you buy every single lie that Trump feeds you, hook, line, and sinker.
This is Vietnam 2.0, and it’s all Trump’s fault.

The level of stupidity it takes to utter this statement on camera is staggering.
For those who weren’t paying attention: Trump LIED (again) and Iran’s military was NOT “obliterated.”
Fools.

She can’t understand how the guy who is known for lying nonstop said some things that proved not to be true.
I wonder what the explanation could be.

A real mystery! https://t.co/Sr018Ca7eT

Here’s the thing, Maria, and I’ll try to make this as simple as I can…
TRUMP LIES.
