The View hosts ask Rahm Emanuel if Trump started Iran war to distract from Epstein

Co-hosts of “The View” mused during a conversation with former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel that the war in Iran was launched to distract from the Epstein files.Emanuel, believed to be a potential presidential contender for the Democratic nomination, spoke about the ongoing war in Iran during his appearance on “The View.” He warned that ultimately, the great responsibility of any leader in the White House is making hard choices between “bad and worse,” arguing that President Donald Trump has very clearly opted for the latter.“We have a president who makes a decision – every president before him has rejected this idea because it doesn’t work out,” he said.“If Iran does not come forward, and we don’t have a plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz, he will probably, for leverage purposes put our young men and women at risk.”“We know he’s incompetent.

“What is that this might be some other reason why he did this?”“Because we stopped talking about the Epstein files,” guest host Whitney Cummings suggested.“It worked perfectly.” “Do you agree with that?” Behar asked, “Because I agree with that.”“He could have given a different speech about degrading the nuclear capacity, the missile delivery, the terrorist organizations and Iran’s disruption.

But once he jumped the tracks into the political regime change, et cetera, first of all, you’re not going to do that from the air.It’s never been done in the war,” Emanuel replied. Emanuel went on to argue that after Trump’s success in Venezuela and potential plans in Cuba, the president looked at a dynamic victory in Iran as his “road to Mount Rushmore.”Behar repeated her assertion that the Iran war is being used as a distraction.“But it also keeps people off of the economy, it keeps people off the Epstein files,” Behar said as co-hosts agreed.
