Auburn’s Bruce Pearl Praises President Trump For ‘Courageous’ Iran Bombings

Iran violated, so they had to be violated, and Bruce Pearl gets that.

Bruce Pearl, the head coach of the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball program, is raining down praise on President Donald Trump for his grade-A move to bomb the nuclear facilities of Iran, which took place Saturday night. The move was 1. a halt to Iran’s nuclear weapon development, and 2. retaliation for Iran striking the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv.

A high-profile Jew in the sports realm, Pearl has over and over again taken advantage of his platform to push for a tight alliance between the United States and Israel, and he’s also been in the fight against increasing antisemitism.

“Thank you, Mr President, for your strength and vision, keeping us safe,” tweeted Pearl. “Proud of our troops!”

“You did what no one has had the courage to do for far too long. You were patient and clear. Pray for Peace through prosperity in the Middle East, expand now on the AA. You prevented a War.”

The next morning, Pearl added to his original comments.

“Thank you God for your protection over our troops. We are not at war with Iran, we are at war with Iran’s military nuclear program. The President wants peace, now the ball is in the court of the Iranian leadership. Iran’s terrorist reach has been diminished but still present,” tweeted Pearl.

I’d also like to issue a thank you to President Trump for taking care of business! It had to be done!
