The combined political and liberal media counteroffensive against President Trump was underway within hours of the Iran strike.
As socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) launched a frontal assault on Trump’s decision — declaring the military action “absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment” — the New York Times provided covering fire, unleashing a barrage of skepticism about the justification for the strikes.
ABC chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined Saturday’s Good Morning America to discuss any possible political fallout from President Trump’s decision to attack Iran. Despite polling showing Republicans broadly supportive of the idea before Saturday, Karl suggested there is “potential for significant blowback” from the MAGA base.

After the United States and Israel began combat operations against Iran, NBC’s Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett welcomed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saturday’s edition of Today to get his perspective. The worst part of the interview was when Jarrett opened up the floor for Araghchi to give his “message to the president," which consisted of an airing of grievances that were not fact-checked.
On Wednesday, the PBS News Hour brought on union chief Paul Perez of the National Border Patrol Council (who represents 18,000 Border Patrol agents), and anchor Amna Nawaz pressed him on why 6 in 10 Americans think immigration enforcement has "gone too far."
