Critics are urging White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to brush up on history after she went a little too far with her over-the-top praise of President Donald Trump’s bombing campaign in Iran.
“No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success,” she said of the operation during a Fox News interview.
Her critics on social media noted that U.S. presidents have seen success in the Civil War, World War I and World War II, to name a few.
Trump has claimed that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “completely and totally obliterated” in the weekend attack carried out by U.S. B-2 bombers. However, a U.S. intelligence assessment leaked to several media outlets reportedly takes a more measured tone, saying the attack may have only set Iran’s nuclear program back by as little as a few months.
Trump on Wednesday called the media outlets that reported the story “scum.”
