'No!' GOP campaign expert laughs at Jim Jordan as he shoots down gas price claim
Longtime campaign strategist Mark McKinnon, who advised former President George W. Bush and the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), could not contain his laughter after watching Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) being interviewed on CNN late Thursday.
Appearing on MS NOW with host Chris Jansing, McKinnon watched Jordan tell CNN's Kasie Hunt, “President Trump is committed to achieving that [Iran regime change] goal, and if that means prices go up for a time, I think Americans understand, we can live with that .But, in the end, we want all that to happen, and we want it all to happen in as quick a time as it possibly can.”
After sharing the clip, Jansing asked her guest, “But with gas now up 65 cents a gallon and no end in sight, do you think Americans understand?”
“No!” McKinnon exclaimed while laughing. “I think Americans have a very low pain threshold; short-term pain, mid-term pain, long-term pain. Americans are not very good at sacrificing anything, particularly for a conflict that they're not supporting going in, much less four weeks into it now. So that's a real problem for the administration.”
“And, you know, it's the Iranians are reading the American media, and they know that politicians react to their voters and their voters are reacting to the price of oil,” he elaborated. “And I just — it's astonishing to me that the general there said the only thing preventing [Strait of Hormuz shipping] traffic is Iran. Yeah. The place where bombing is preventing it, and they know it, and they know that they can just continue this.”
