‘I Don’t Buy It’Newsmax Host FlatOut Tells James Comer He Doesn’t Believe Trump’s Cuba Claim
"Newsmax host Rob Finnerty straight-up told House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Wednesday that he doesn’t believe President Donald Trump’s claims about Cuba, telling the congressman the administration’s hawkish posture toward Cuba seems “like a false flag.”
Comer joined Finnerty to discuss, among other topics, the administration’s recent actions surrounding Cuba. Wednesday saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio release a five-minute video addressing the Cuban people and their increasing difficulties in relation to Trump’s oil blockade on the country. Hours later, the Department of Justice indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro for the alleged murder of American citizens in relation to the downing of two planes near the Cuban coast in 1996.
Finnerty mentioned these actions before pressing Comer on why the administration was focusing on Cuba while Americans were struggling at home."
