CNN's Daniel Dale Comes to Trump's Defense Over LA Comment
Dale said the clips omitted Trump’s follow-up lines, including a pledge to protect U.S. cities and keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
- During a Monday rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, President Donald Trump suggested an Iranian nuclear strike on Los Angeles and San Diego would be a "small price to pay" to prevent wider conflict.
- Denouncing the remarks as "deranged and dangerous," California Democrats including Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria argued that no American city should be considered expendable.
- White House Communications Director Steven Cheung defended the remarks as a "hoax" on social media, while President Trump repeatedly refused to clarify his comments to reporters, including swatting away a question.
- On Tuesday, CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale countered criticism by arguing that Trump's comments were taken out of context and that he was actually discussing preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
- While Dale acknowledged it is inappropriate to casually float the destruction of a city, he maintained that the full transcript shows Trump intended to emphasize the necessity of keeping the country safe.
