The gang of aid, as they're called, the Republican leaders in the House, Democrat leaders in the House, the Republican Democrat leaders in the Senate, okay, were all briefed before the attacks began. That Operation Epic Fury was a go.”
Host / other voice“they needed a distraction. How quickly we stopped talking about the daycare centers that have no children but were receiving millions, in fact, billions over the years of dollars. How quickly we stopped talking about all the fraud being committed by the Somali immigrants.”
