CNN “NewsNight” panelist Bakari Sellers mocked “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary’s attempt to sell President Donald Trump’s war in Iran on Wednesday as “a bunch of BS.”
During the heated conversation, Sellers addressed O’Leary, saying, “Explain to me right now, somebody who lives in South Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio: What is good right now for the American public going into a war where you do not understand that they’re going to close the Strait of Hormuz.”
Trump’s popularity dipped further in recent months amid criticism over his war with Iran as gas prices surged by over 50% since the initial attack in February.
U.S. farmers have also voiced concerns over rising fertilizer prices, due in part to Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Sellers asked the panel, “Why was the shutting off the Strait of Hormuz not actually something that Pete Hegseth and the rest of them thought about prior?”
