House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries directly confronts President Trump's earlier claim that Iran's nuclear program was completely and totally obliterated. He reminds viewers those were Trump's own words, not Democratic talking points. Jeffries then points to the current situation where Trump is again floating military action to stop Iran from achieving nuclear ambitions. The contradiction is laid out plainly. If the program was obliterated last year, why the new urgency? Jeffries forces the question into the open. He states that either Trump lied to the American people then or he is lying right now. The delivery is calm but cutting. No soft language is used. The clip captures a rare moment of a top Democrat using Trump's exact previous statements as the weapon against him.
