White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has faced backlash for misrepresenting polls on the Iran operation, with critics accusing her of being an 'open liar.'
Leavitt claimed that Americans largely back President Donald Trump-led Operation Epic Fury against Iran, citing polls that primarily featured Republicans affiliated with MAGA endorsing Trump's strikes.
However, the polls she mentioned only showed support from Republicans or MAGA supporters, with one poll revealing that only 43% of the overall population supported the war.
Critics, including Mehdi Hasan, have accused Leavitt of misrepresenting the data and skews the views of the broader American public.
Leavitt has refused to back down, claiming that Americans trust President Trump as their Commander-in-Chief and support his efforts to eliminate terrorist threats and keep them safe.
