The Majority Report with Sam Seder

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report On today's program: Donald Trump continues to deflect and mislead when asked about the American Tomahawk missile that struck a girls' elementary school in Iran. After a reporter pressed him on why he is the only person in his administration claiming the missile may have come from Iran, the president responded with apparent indifference, saying he "doesn't know enough" about the incident. Candidate running for Congress in Illinois' 9th District, Kat Abughazaleh joins the program a week out from her primary. Check out her platform here. Juan Cole, Professor of History at the University of Michigan and founder and editor-in-chief of Informed Comment, joins the program to discuss the wars in the Middle East. In the Fun Half: Chuck Schumer is very frustrated with the Trump administration contradicting themselves over the timeline of the War but has expressed no frustrations over the war in general. Jake Tapper brings on Israeli American 'Journalist' Emily Schrader to explain how happy that Iranians are to be bombed. Fox News encourages democrats to stop talking about the price of oil because it is carrying water for the Iranian regime.
