Elise Stefanik Discusses Trump’s Iran Remarks With Jake Tapper

Outlets agree that, in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Rep. Elise Stefanik defended President Donald Trump’s remarks about Iran and rejected the claim that they called for genocide, saying they targeted Iran’s regime. Left-leaning outlets question whether Stefanik applied a different standard to Trump’s remarks than to campus speech. Right-leaning outlets emphasize her argument that Trump targeted Iran’s regime, not its people, and often portray her as prevailing over Tapper.
