      Iran is trying to goad *us*? You sure it’s not the other way around? Isn’t flying a giant surveillance drone in/around their territory a bit of a “goad”? Beginning to question AOC’s proficiency for effective political communicationhttps://twitter.com/thehill/status/1141850579683164165 …

      How did you not interpret this as Trump doing the goading?

      Who exactly is Trump “goading” per this formulation?

      Based on context, it sounds like she meant “provoke” — or a verb that doesn’t require an object. A pretty minor malapropism. I’m checking though.

      So she failed at basic political communication, on a massively important subject. Thanks for clarifying.

      I sought clarification from @corbintrent. The “they” here is Trump and his officials. “They’re trying to goad Iran and the American people. They’re trying to wag the goddamn dog.”

      Great, she should probably communicate with minimum standards of clarity going forward, especially when discussing war. Glad to hear the post hoc rationalization though

          She was asked about the "handling of Iran", clearly referring to the administration.

          Right? I thought for sure she meant the 2002 film "They."

          The Trump admin is trying to goad the American people into war with Iran by promoting hysterical lies and false allegations.

          dude she was responding to a question about 'the handling of iran' so it literally only makes sense if 'they' refers to the people doing the handling
