Mary Trump - The Ongoing National Security Debacle
We now have confirmation that Donald's advisors did in fact share classified military details about the Yemen strikes, which we all knew to be true despite days of denials from every level of the regime. But I want to start with the man who accidentally invited a journalist into the Signal chat in the first place: National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz who made an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s show. His goal was to do some damage control. But because, like Donald, he is woefully unprepared for anything requiring nuance or maturity, he only made things worse, first by launching into an absurd attack on The Atlantic journalist and editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, who broke this story because, well, he’s the guy Waltz invited into the Signal chat in the first place.
MIKE WALTZ
I could tell you for 100%, I don't know this guy. I know him by his horrible reputation and he really is the bottom scum of journalists. And I know him in the sense that he hates the president, but I don't text him. He wasn't on my phone. And we're going to figure out how this happened.
So that’s his defense, “I don't know him, but I hate him.” How exactly, then, does that explain how Goldberg got into the chat if he wasn't on Waltz’s phone?
Waltz claimed that he was willing to take full responsibility. He even refused to blame his staffers, which is completely out of character for somebody who works for Donald. But then he suggested that somehow Goldberg’s phone number was accidentally mixed up with somebody else’s contact information:
