The Trump administration faced criticism this week after a reporter was accidentally included in a high-level Signal group chat planning military strikes on Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz defended the administration’s response, calling it an “understandable mistake” by officials still learning their roles. He emphasized that the team quickly admitted the error – unlike past Democratic leaders who deliberately hid communications.
Fleitz explained the chat involved discussions about striking Houthi terrorists who’ve attacked American ships. While Democrats screamed about security failures, he noted these conversations didn’t include full war plans. The real story is that President Trump took decisive action to protect our sailors and trade routes after years of Biden’s weakness let the Houthis run wild.
Liberals seized on reports that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff was in Russia during part of the chat. But Fleitz dismissed this as a distraction. The administration followed all laws – unlike Hillary Clinton’s secret email server that put classified information at risk. This was an honest mix-up, not criminal behavior.
National security experts agree the Houthis needed a strong response. These Iran-backed thugs have fired on U.S. warships and disrupted global shipping. President Trump delivered the firm leadership America deserves by ordering precise strikes to destroy their capabilities. Weak-kneed Democrats would’ve sent a letter of protest.
Fleitz praised officials for using encrypted apps to swiftly coordinate during a crisis. Yes, a journalist slipped into the chat by accident. But the administration immediately tightened procedures. Compare that to the Obama team lying about Benghazi or Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal covered up with phony paperwork.
The media’s outrage is selective. Where were these “security concerns” when Hunter Biden left his laptop at a repair shop? When Adam Schiff leaked classified Russia probe details? This is just another witch hunt against a president who actually puts America first.
At Tuesday’s Senate hearing, Trump officials stood strong against partisan attacks. CIA Director John Ratcliffe proved the administration followed rules. The American people care about results – not DC drama. Our military successfully degraded Houthi forces while protecting U.S. personnel. That’s victory.
President Trump’s team showed accountability by admitting the error and moving forward. Unlike the deep state bureaucrats who slow-walk every decision, these patriots acted boldly to defend our interests. The administration’s transparency and strength expose the left’s endless hypocrisy on national security.
