Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

1. Tomahawk Operators

As of early 2026, the United States is the primary operator of Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are also in service with the militaries of the United Kingdom and Australia. Japan has begun taking delivery of these missiles (as of 2024/2025) to bolster its counterstrike capabilities, and the Netherlands has agreed to purchase them.


The Royal Navy, the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Netherlands Navy, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force...are not taking part in the attacks on Iran.

9. Good on him. Actually Schumer faced backlash back in 2020 when...

I remember he got lambasted, but not why.
From Google AI

In March 2020, Senator Chuck Schumer faced intense backlash for telling Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh they would "pay the price" and "not know what hit" them if they restricted abortion rights. The remarks were widely interpreted as threats against the judiciary, drawing a rare public rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts.

Key details regarding this event include:
The Context: The comments were made at an abortion rights rally in front of the Supreme Court, shortly before the court was set to hear arguments in a major abortion case.

The Reaction: Chief Justice Roberts stated, "Justices know there are consequences to their decisions, but they are not influenced by threats," calling Schumer's words "inappropriate and dangerous".

The Retraction: Following the backlash, including criticism from Republicans and legal scholars, a spokesperson for Schumer said he was referring to political consequences, not physical danger.

He apologized later for the wording - it came out wrong; but not the spirit of his remarks.

10. If Iran had Tomahawk missiles they would be their top tier weapons,

and the Iranians would be smart enough to aim them at strategic military targets, not a school full of elementary students. The Iranians aren’t idiots.

11. Does Trump understand that there are no actual tomahawks? He gets confused at times.

[Dave Bowman]

12. It would have been true if he had said that they have tomahawks, period.

13. Many of IRAN's weapons,

in the 1980's, were supplied to IRAN, Treasonously,!!! by the WBush CABAL to impact the election, so HW could install Reagan in the White House.....(Part of the IRAN/CONTRA Debacle)........later, IRAN was even launching those U.S. missiles given to them, at our ships as I recall.....(of course there was a major cover up of that fact)..........

The perfect title for a book about the past 46+ years, would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT
