Summary
Rita covers breaking news as U.S. forces launch major strikes against Iranian air defenses and ports in response to aggression in the Strait of Hormuz. Back on the home front, the Democratic party is in absolute freefall over Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Facing horrific allegations of domestic abuse and rape, top Democrats are finally jumping ship—but is it just because his poll numbers are tanking? Rita breaks down the hypocrisy, calls out an American influencer chanting "Down with USA" in Tehran, and absolutely loses it on a caller who tries to victim-blame Platner's accuser.
