Big strong rugged CBS Evening MAGAt News' Tony "Never Served In The Military" Dokoupil hearts Trump's Iran War bigly.

Tony Dokoupil opened his special edition of CBS Evening News sounding more like a White House surrogate than a network news anchor.

“Weeks of failed diplomacy have exploded into full-blown war with Iran tonight,” he began, describing the strikes as “massive ongoing operation” to “end the Iranian regime.”

“What the president described today as a wicked, radical dictatorship that has long threatened America and its allies.”

Dokoupil also highlighted what he described as “celebrations tonight,” pointing to footage of “a crowd dancing and cheering on the streets outside Tehran” and said many Iranians appeared to feel that “their hour of freedom is at hand”—another phrase lifted directly from Trump’s message to the Iranian public earlier in the day.
