NEW: DC Insider & Big Oil Lobbyist Michael Whatley Says “It’s Not Even a War” in Iran After Dismissing Service Members Sacrifice

Michael Whatley: “It’s not even a war, right?”

With DC insider and Big Oil Lobbyist Michael Whatley in the spotlight for profitingby up to $219,660” from the Iran war, Whatley is now trying to downplay the conflict. A “longtime oil lobbyist,” Whatley’s investments in oil and gas companies have spiked dramatically following the war he cheered on. 

Michael Whatley [8:57]:It’s not even a war, right?

This follows Whatley saying he doesn’t “think we’re sacrificing our soldiers at all right now.” More than 1,500 troops from Fort Bragg have been deployed to the Middle East, 13 service members have been killed and hundreds more have been wounded.

Putting himself and his oil buddies before American service members and North Carolina families, Michael Whatley’s self enrichment knows no bounds.
