The mainstream media didn’t expect to hear this.
In a stunning moment that’s turning heads across the political spectrum, a former Clinton White House official broke ranks to praise President Donald Trump—and openly question Kamala Harris’s strength as a potential commander-in-chief.
Jamie Metzl, who once served on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council and later worked under then-Senator Joe Biden, admitted what many Americans have long suspected: Kamala Harris would not have had the courage to launch a bold military strike to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
“I don’t blindly follow party lines,” Metzl posted on X. “I have no issue giving President Trump credit when he takes bold, decisive action to protect America’s vital national interests.”
While still claiming to support Harris politically, Metzl acknowledged a harsh truth: “I do not believe Vice President Harris would have had the courage or fortitude to take such an essential step as the president took last night.”
Trump Strikes Iran’s Nuclear Sites – “Monumental Damage”
On Saturday, U.S. forces launched a high-precision military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz. The strike, authorized by President Trump, used B-2 stealth bombers and Navy-launched Tomahawk missiles to inflict maximum damage on Iran’s underground enrichment sites.
While an official assessment is still pending, President Trump confirmed that “monumental damage” was dealt to Iran’s nuclear program—a clear warning that the United States will not tolerate a nuclear-armed Islamic regime.
Military experts had long warned that the Fordow facility, buried deep within a mountain, posed a unique challenge. That’s why the U.S. deployed 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs designed for exactly this purpose.
Clinton-Era Official: “Iran Has Been at War with Us for 46 Years”
Metzl didn’t mince words when explaining the threat:
“For 46 years, Iran has treated the United States as an enemy. Its leadership is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, and the slogan ‘Death to America’ isn’t just rhetoric—it reflects their core ideology.”
According to Metzl, Iran was racing toward a nuclear weapon and had every intention of using it to threaten the U.S., Israel, and our allies across the Middle East.
“Leadership means making tough calls,” he added. “And President Trump did just that.”
Kamala Talked Tough—Trump Took Action
While Kamala Harris has called Iran America’s “greatest adversary” and claimed that “all options are on the table,” her critics say she lacks the experience and fortitude to lead during a global crisis.
Trump, by contrast, took decisive action just one week after Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iran’s military and nuclear sites. The coordinated Western effort sends a powerful message to Tehran: the West will not wait until it’s too late.
Final Word: Strength Over Rhetoric
This bold U.S. strike—carried out with surgical precision and undeniable resolve—proves once again that America needs strong leadership, not political posturing.
Even longtime critics are being forced to admit: when the stakes are this high, Trump delivers.
