Errol Louis discussed the breaking news of Iranian attacks on American forces in Iraq with Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq war veteran and the host of the “Angry Americans” podcast.
Angry Americans host Paul Rieckhoff discusses the lack of clarity for troops headed to the middle East on Cuomo Prime Time Monday, January 6, 2020.
Some Trump critics are asking if the president is “wagging the dog,” stoking a conflict to distract from his own impeachment. But legendary journalist Sam Donaldson says he doesn’t think so. Paul Rieckhoff also joins the conversation and advocates for on-camera press briefings from the Pentagon and White House.
Brian Stelter cites new reporting that shows Trump is being affected by news coverage of his actions in the Middle East. Katie Rogers says Trump “has a particular aversion to coverage that makes him look weak.” Paul Rieckhoff says leaders need to “control the tone, to de-escalate and in order to do that we have to be thoughtful, we have to be measured, we have to be clear-headed — all the things that Trump is generally not.”
The Trump administration has carried out a strike killing Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Now many are questioning whether Donald Trump and the president’s White House officials have a plan to deal with the repercussions that will not get America embroiled in another war in the Middle East. Activist and author Zainab Salbi and host of the podcast Angry Americans Paul Rieckhoff join Joy Reid to discuss.
