It’s about competence, stupid.

Right-wing media—and the Trump administration—are trying to downplay the Group Chat scandal as no big deal. Their spin? “No one was hurt, no secrets were compromised—so what’s the problem?”

We need to shift the conversation with one simple, damning question:

Why didn’t Trump’s top intelligence officials know who they were in a group chat with?

Most people might not fully grasp the ins and outs of national security.

But everyone understands incompetence.

When the people tasked with protecting our most sensitive information can’t even recognize that a journalist was in their group chat, that’s not just a slip-up.

That’s a full-blown failure. 
 

That should be the leading question of everyone who talks to whatever media they’re on
