Bill Maher Nukes Dem/Media Lies About Trump Telling Iran to Destroy American Cities

In two separate speeches this week, President Trump said that temporarily higher gas prices are a small price to pay to ensure Iran can't develop a nuclear weapon and possibly take out US cities like Los Angeles and San Diego. Trump said he'd never allow that to happen. 

That context was of course clipped so the Left could dishonestly frame what Trump said. This was the result: 

Trump just said it again: Let Iran hit Los Angeles or San Diego. Disgusting and dangerous. End the war and hold him accountable.

Bill Maher has spent a good deal of time lately calling out lefty BS, and this was no different.

Watch: 

HBO's Bill Maher called out those who framed Trump's rally comments as him wanting LA and San Diego to be bombed: "He was saying gas prices are too high, it's a small price. He wasn't saying that, that we were encouraging Iran..." Maher even got a Karen Bass joke in: "Karen Bass, our mayor, was very upset. She immediately got on the phone with her travel agent."

"Karen Bass, our mayor, was very upset. She immediately got on the phone with her travel agent." LOL.

Once again, the unlikely voice of reason and common sense emerges…
