This morning, Donald Trump once again called out Democrats over their refusal to meet his demands with regard to border wall funding, citing the Obama administration’s cash gift to Iran:
The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?

After adjusting his fedora, Professor Max Boot decided to take Trump to school:
Obama didn’t give Iran $150B. It was $1.7B and it was to settle an old debt: https://t.co/a1XKGwWHkt https://t.co/OjXoC8XcWM

Boot is correct about the amount of cash, but the rest? Max Boot, have you met Max Boot?
You called it a “ransom payment” in 2016 (back when the cash total was thought to be lower). pic.twitter.com/0PRc6FRlVY

Best part? Boot used the R-word multiple times:

What more evidence do you need that @MaxBoot has abandoned all of his principles because of his antipathy towards Trump than the fact that he spent 2016 calling the U.S. delivering pallets of cash to the Iranian regime a “ransom payment” but in 2018 he frames it as *no big deal*. pic.twitter.com/y8BTCCOdb7

The evidence is pretty compelling.
Shouldn’t be too difficult. Max Boot makes it so easy!
Intellectual honesty and consistency are not his strong points

Max’s “principles” fluctuate a lot.

Max Boot's biggest ideological opponent is 2016 Max Boot.

Boot is an intellectual train wreck.

Fraud and swindler come to mind when I think of Max Boot.

He is the biggest fraud on the planet. It's almost hilarious watching him flip on every single topic at this point. https://t.co/hhCvfG7DvV
