White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby appeared on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream and claimed that it was actually former President Trump who emboldened Iran to attack Israel on Saturday and that the Biden administration’s release of billions of dollars in frozen funds to the Islamic Republic had little bearing on the matter.

As Biden himself likes to say, “C’mon man.”

If you have a drug-addicted relative, the one thing you certainly don’t do is give them money or even give cash to their acquaintances because said relative will certainly find a way to get their hands on it. To her credit, Bream pushed the former naval officer and asked how the release of the mountains of currency didn’t help the Iranian regime finance terror:

BREAM: Is it not fair to say, though, that there have been moves by this administration that have opened up cash and other opportunities for them, which we know are fungible in ways that are not helping the Iranian people but are benefiting the elites and people there who chant “Death to America?”

KIRBY: The additional funds that have been made available to Iran due to the sanctions relief program that the Trump administration put in place, can only be used for humanitarian goods. It doesn’t go to the regime. And the idea that the regime was somehow felt like they were freed up to support these proxies because of that. It just doesn’t comport with the fact that they have been supporting these proxies for years.

Yeah, and all the aid money sent to Gaza goes to the citizens and not Hamas terrorists. Nobody believes that, Kirby.
