It came after Wallace took aim at the president for his position on Iran during his “Fox News Sunday” show on Sunday.
“Over the last week, the president has taken a number of measures,” Wallace said to Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey.
“He’s ordered a carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf, we’re sending long range bombers there, the Pentagon has at least considered a proposal to send 120,000 US troops to the Middle East,” he said.
“Really, two questions, one, do you understand what’s going on with U.S. policy in Iran,” he said. “and how do you feel about, if you do understand it, what the president’s policy is?”
“I think I do, Chris,” Toomey said. “I took the time to go down to the secure briefing room and read the intelligence reports last week, I’m looking forward to the full briefing to all senators on Tuesday on the intelligence we have.
“I can’t comment on that, but let me simply say this. If you read a report about a potentially imminent threat to American personnel and American assets, originating from the Iranian regime, I think you should take that report very seriously,” he said.
But President Trump did not take Wallace’s opinion, which was framed in the form of a question, the same way.
“Drug prices down for first time in 51 years (& soon will drop much further), Right to Try, protecting your 2nd Amendment, big Tax & Reg Cuts, 3.2 GDP, Strong Foreign Policy, & much much more that nobody else would have been able to do. Our Country is doing GREAT!”

In an interview with Sen. Toomey Chris Wallace lied. He stated Trump was considering sending 120,000 troops to the Middle East. The Pentagon was ordered to determine what would be needed to do so, if required. The military always does contingency planning.— Jack M Mori (@JackfromNJ) May 19, 2019
Will NOT be watching! Chris Wallace is a True Trump hating Democratic idiot. Might as well have Juan Williams moderating.— poppa (@poppa39634614) May 19, 2019
I think all @realDonaldTrump supporters and MAGA Americans NEED to turn off @FoxNews during the Chris Wallace interview of Pete Buttaplug! They both have bashed our President and spewed false details of his great leadership! Let’s have our voices heard!!— Tom J (@tommygun083) May 19, 2019
