MS NOW footage shows Republicans twisting themselves into knots to avoid criticizing President Donald Trump’s devastating gaffe admitting he “doesn’t care” what kind of suffering his Iran war puts on Americans.

When a reporter asked Trump “what extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating” him to end the Iran war,” Trump answered: “Not even a little bit.”

“The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation,” Trump continued. “I don't think about anybody.”

But it was Republican’s follow-up to the outrageous statement that appears to be keeping the outrage going.

“I don't know that he said that,” said White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who was caught by a reporter on Thursday.

“I think that was just a sort of a throwaway line,” quipped Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).

“Did he say that? I don't have a comment about that. Mostly because I think he actually does care,” said U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.).

“I would have to find out the context of it. I'm sorry,” said Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), ducking quickly down a hall.

“Don't take it out of context,” barked U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas). “The American people love him.

“I don't know the context in which he made that comment,” insisted House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“I don't think the president said that,” said Vice President JD Vance, in contradiction to the actual video. “I think that's a misrepresentation of what the president said.”

“Well, you heard it yourself,” said Table for Five host Abby Phillip. “And it does seem like in this moment when gas prices are about $4.50 a gallon, it's a moment when, even before the gas prices were $4.50 a gallon, Americans’ were not happy with how [Trump is] handling the economy. It just seems … that this is just sort of going from bad to worse.”
