Vice President JD Vance on Sunday delivered a stunning claim in the wake of President Donald Trump’s strike on Iranian nuclear sites — and critics were quick to point out his logical fallacy.Speaking with ABC News “This Week,” Vance told Jonathan Karl, “We’re not at war with Iran. We’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program.””And I think the president took decisive action to destroy that program last night,” Vance argued.Journalist Michael Weiss called Vance’s comment “Orwellian.”“This is the kind of Orwellian comment Vance would have ridiculed if it had been uttered by anyone else,” Weiss wrote in a post on X. “Trump is turning his unhappy band of isolationists inside out.”Journalist Michael Tracey argued Vance’s comment proves “as war heats up, the propaganda always gets progressively dumber.”“ Imagine if some other country bombed nuclear installations in the US, and then tried to claim they were ‘not at war with the US,’” Tracey wrote.Analyst @AdameMedia wrote succinctly, “This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”And “MAGA lie tracker” posted a clip of Vance with the analysis, “Don’t think it works that way, JD.”Watch the video below or at this link.
