Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10h LIEU: How many US troops have been wounded in the Iran war? WALTZ: My understanding is over 100 LIEU: That number is wrong. It's actually 482. It's not surprising to me you didn't know the answer. The reason you are here today is bc you were fired by the president from your former position as NSA.

WALTZ: I would just like to say... Biden, Obama, Communism, Dumocrats.
*someone on Bluesky*: "but ackshully Waltz wasn't wrong. 482 is over 100"
This administration is so snarky When get questioned they all become insult comics
It’s hard to imagine any people more arrogant and condescending than the men who populate the Trump administration. Their area of commonality?: Arrogance, the complete ease with which they lie, and their self satisfaction in spite of their ignorance. It’s appalling.
WORST SEC DEF in US History ever contradicts Trump's big Iran claim & admitted Iran “still has capabilities,” Even Republicans have had enough Sen. Gary Peters to Pete Hegseth: "You, sir, are the failure!" 1- open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm... 2- open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
482 of our military have been wounded in Donald's war.
😡😡😡
The "Honorable" Mike Waltz . . .
🕯️🇺🇸
Ah, but 482 IS over 100! Checkmate, libs.
ouch. that has been a cold blood ambush. Lieu knows his stuff.
Is this the Signal Chat guy?
Scumbag lying administration
Never forget the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for our country. They paid the ultimate price. Never forget them. Never forget the soldiers who were killed because Maggot Trump started a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files. Criminal!
Well, that's just unfair. 482 is definitely "over 100".
These motherfuckers act like we aren’t playing their own game.. they all add some comment about clip, clicks and likes as if they don’t do it too
Ted Lieu is an ASSASSIN
Ted Lieu's a savage! Takes shit from no one.
👊🇺🇸🔥
Technically, 482 is more than 100.
Waltz doesn't realize it but he is the living breathing walking definition of mediocre white male entitlement.
If truly classified, the proper answer is, that number is classified. Not whatever number pops out of your bunghole.
Smug performer He the ambassador should be required to Do community work as a confessional booth deal in not knowing how many times they do know an answer or respond in A smug way I think It’s fair
Are all MAGAs deeply flawed and ill-informed? So much so that it's apparent they were hired specifically for that reason.
Ouch!
Ted has zero fucks left to give
All these bastards do is lie
They're lying to you about the casualty numbers.....and everything else.
LIEU IS A DOG WITH A BONE, LOVE HIM @reptedlieu.bsky.social
A friend in Canada told me our injured toll was over 400 last week. Canada it getting the real news that our media is either hiding from us or not investigating
Leiu ❤️🙏🏼👏🏼
Ouch!
❤️Lieu in hearings!
Insane anyone in the military thinks Trump gives a single fuck about them. I guess they don’t recruit smart people for a reason
482 is over 100. But they know exactly what they’re doing when they throw out “it’s over 100” they’re setting the line in the sand at 3-digits, which is wrong. They would still be wrong to say, “it’s over 481” but that would be way more accurate and a bigger sticker shock. Great job Lieu.
How does disclosing the actual number of injured service members does it put pilots at risk?
Ted Lieu is a fucking star!
Waltz knew the answer is probably lied under oath.
Lieu is a national treasure!
Share and retweet this video so everyone sees how utterly incompetent these fools are.
lotta good any of this shit does ... They passed it ...
Tbf, 480 is over 100.
"Well, it's more than one." That's the answer you give as a child when you don't know or don't care to know. It's like taking French class and putting LE in front of a masculine noun and using feminine adjectives b/c you forgot which is which but will settle for half credit.
Ok, 482 is significantly larger than I thought. I knew it was more than 50, but this is very bad. Rep. Lieu is AMAZEBALLS!!
Waltz’s staff is looking increasingly worried in these clips
Go Representative Lieu!!!
That burn book is WEAK
Outrageous.
Oooh he’s in trouble. He said Defense Department not WAR Department.
Wait a minute. Isn't that the same assclown who invited the reporter to a classified Signal chat?
I mean, he did say more than a hundred.
When soldiers mature and realize they've murdered innocent people who did nothing to US it's a big factor in Soldier suicides. GOP/MAGA/Trump/AIPAC Corp Dems/Corp Media r absolute FILTH! coloradonewsline.com/2021/07/08/r...
Open Letter to Soldiers - GOP don't care about you. Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I, Iraq, Iran all 100% lies, millions of soldiers wounded/killed. Military ignoring soldiers being poisoned by chemicals/Agent Orange/DU/fumes presswatchers.org/2023/03/how-...
👏👏👏✊✊✊
Go TED!
Ted Lieu ROCKS!!! 👏
We need to create a new rule for testifying before Congress & the Senate. Use to they would answer politely, not overtalking a Congressman or Senator & certainly not being disrespectful. Anyone that behaves this way should not hold an office. We should jail and FINE them $2k per incident for this.
"My understanding is over 100." He didn't know or didn't care; which is true. If he knew the numbers stating over 100 when the total was as high as 482 is deliberate misrepresentation of the casualties (injuries) in this 'war'. Do I trust his "returned to duty" quickly comment?
I’ve always thought we weren’t getting the real numbers. They lie about everything.
"100, 482? What's the diff? As long as no one gets hurt, right?"
We have Rep. Ted Lieu's political snapshot right here! 📸
I like Ted
He did not say how many over 100. A billion is over 100 too. Lol
What an arrogant ass. He's going down with the rest of the administration!
trump- Ha! Lieu doesn't know math.. Many people say that I could have been a math professor. 482 IS over 100!
Spin on this Waltz.
Very disappointing
This trolling is perfect. 10/10.
I'm tired of repeating this but: Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks!
Cornered like starving rats...all they say...all of em say...Biden Biden Biden ..their go to ....Fuckin Biden has been gone for 2 yrs .....Sounds like kids blaming the wind for not taking leaves
The answer isn't wrong. 482>100. 🤣
Have to wonder why Waltz would be nominated for any position given his notable incompetence, even in a regime as lacking competency as the current one, and his arrogance that assures he'll never learn from his mistakes 🤔
💥💥💥
Gosh. Wouldn’t it be nice if Lieu weren’t a genocide-supporting hypocrite? He’d actually have a vestige of moral authority to have this conversation. Too bad he’s just another Dem bitch for Nazi Netanyahu.
The whole “you’re just doing this for your campaign commercials” is such weak sauce. I have never once seen a political ad that uses footage from a hearing. Not once.
How many children have been killed?
FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO INJURED SOLDIERS oh well they signed up to follow illegal orders
Waltz is a fuck. How do these tiny stupid and evil people rise so high???
Thank you Mr Lieu please stay strong and continue unveiling the truth 💙
AND FOR WHAT!!!!
🫤😏🤷😡🤬👀
“shuddup! shuddup! meanie kabeenie weenie noonoo!! shuddup!!” >tantrum< Yes, you were fired. Yes, dumdum hates you. And yes, you are now a moronic fall guy for drumpfstein war fightin’ & maimin’ our own. Filthy fucking LYING SCUM!!! Eviscerate it, NOW! Decorated & Honored USAF Colonel, SAH! 🫡
Lieu did not question correctly. He left him with an answer that can be argued “technically” correct: ‘over 100’. Prosecutorial questioning IMO, is: follow up after 100. “Is it more than 200?” Wait for response. Then “300?” Make him commit to an incorrect range or admit he doesn’t actually know.
Thank you Congressman! Every member of F47's Regime should know how many lives have been lost and how many troops have been wounded!
"Returned to duty" Their original duties? Or new duties that accommodate their injuries?
At the very least, they should be able to count.
I’d like to hear from those wounded soldiers. I’d like to know that they are being well cared for.
BOOM!
It's dangerous to have a president who lies when your country is at war. GOP Congress better grow a spine and control Trump.
"Well, 482 is over 100, so I'm not lying."
When that pedophile, lying pos 💩 president picked his administration , he went to the “I’m fuc**ing useless store”and got them all!!
Daaaaayum - love this guy!!
bsky.app/profile/akaw... 8647 burglars pedophiles kkkabinet
Well they all STRONGLY said: Iran can’t have a nine…
Fact check. 482 is over 100.
Oof... dude went for the lie and got smacked down by the truth
482 IS over 100. So not technically wrong
Mike Walz is a narcissist, just like the rest of the MAGA minions. For narcissists, accusations are confessions.
so, he knew *90% had returned to active duty*, right? he’s got *that* number? likely means he knew the casualty number and was lying and lowballing…
Love that Ted Lieu.
Republicans never stop lying!
Waltz is an ignoramus just like the others.
“Defence Department”……Walz is in for a world of hurt!
Well he was technically correct - 482 is indeed over 100 ...
How disrespectful. White privileged asshole.
These people are all so incompetent and lie like they breathe 🙄🤬✊🏻💙✌🏻
Bet my paycheck after all this theater, a good number of Dems still vote to give them more money for war. They always do. Republicans aren't the only ones who have ballooned the DoD budget.
Love Lieu...zero shits to give.
I love Lieu
If A REPUBLICANS lips are moving.... THEY'RE LIEING!
GOP lie all day; every day but Republican voters like the lies, corruption, self dealing & racism
So he failed upwards, just like the guy who appointed him.
Love Ted Lieu!!!
Ted Lieu doesn’t suffer fools 👊🏾👊🏾
Oh my god…. These administration people are all so arrogant. They are horrible, horrible people. In my over 70 years of life, I have never seen more despicable, deplorable individuals. They will all rot in prison and then in hell.
Waltz is a sniveling, nasty piece of work.
I mean, that number isn't wrong. 482 is over 100....
Inexcusable
Ted Lieu 😍
Ouch, nice burn.🔥
the government has a fucking *website* about that, mike. even breaks everything out by service branch. and by month. p.s. bless those number crunchers... they are still using department of DEFENSE branding. ✊️ Defense Casualty Analysis System share.google/fsjg6lRKfMpr...
Well, technically 482 is over 100, but point taken.
And now the new budget wreckonciliation bill passed by the House GOP will ensure hundreds more dead and wounded, thousands more heartbroken. Thanks GOP! Gutting Our Principles, Guarding Our Pedophiles
Congressman Ted Lieu is a star! He called donald trump a Pedophile and accused him of "allegedly" Raping a teenage girl and trump refuses to sue him. Ted Lieu is a bad boy 👍🏼👍🏼
That number is NOT wrong. 482 is "over 100", by quite a bit. Thanks for listening. I'll let myself out.
Reps like Ted Lieu never phone it in. I am so thankful for the handful of Congressional Democrats who understand the opposition role and are never bashful.
Waltz doesn’t give a damn about dead and wounded soldiers. They are just disposable pawns to people like him, and everyone in the Trump regime, especially the bloodthirsty Secretary of Defense.
I think that '100' is the number of reporters that waltz invited to signal chat for discussing real-time military actions.
Wow... United States of Russia...
Ted Lieu is awesome. That is all.
End the war and hand Hegseth and Trump to Iran in chains as a show of good faith
Meanwhile, the veterans administration has cut physicians and nurses who may be needed to care for those wounded veterans. What remains at the VA system now are many physicians some of them very good others not who will do the bidding of the administration and continue to cut services needed care.
Is a huge underestimate actually wrong? (Yes, it is)
Plausible deniability?
Go Ted; pour it on.....
Now, see what happens when you keep lying? Someone like Rep. Ted Lieu will be there to smack you with a hefty dose of the TRUTH. Then you look stupid af on National tv.🤣
