‘This is DISGUSTING’: House Dem Nukes Online Betting About Missing Pilots In Iran
Mediaite ^ | April 3, 2026 | Jennifer Bowers Bahney

Rep. Seth Mouton (D-MA), a Marine Corps combat veteran, denounced Polymarket as “DISGUSTING” for allowing customers to place bets on the fate of a U.S. fighter pilot still missing after ejecting over Iran.

One pilot of the downed F-15 was successfully rescued, but the crew member remains unaccounted for.

The New York Times reported Friday that a second Air Force combat plane crashed in the Persian Gulf, Friday, and that the sole pilot was successfully rescued.

Moulton posted to X about speculation over the missing crew member.

“There is an ongoing search and rescue operation for a missing American service member whose plane was shot down over Iran. Their safety is unknown,” Moulton wrote.

“They could be your neighbor, a friend, a family member. And people are betting on whether or not they’ll be saved. This is DISGUSTING.”

Under the heading, “US confirms pilots rescued by…?” Polymarket allows bettors to wager whether the pilot will be rescued on April 3 (Buy Yes 19¢, Buy No 89¢) or on April 4 (Buy Yes 65¢, Buy No 39¢).

Polymarket is a blockchain-based prediction market platform.

What’s ‘disgusting’ is that a Marine combat veteran would also be a Leftist Democrat out to destroy the same country he served in.

AS disgusting as burying KNOWN side effects of that shot and all the hoopla from a virus WE taxpayers also funded?....selective anger (Don’t get me wrong I have been following as much as possible about the 2nd pilot) I think they have located him....No disrespect whatsoever...but I’m weary of the bS ....feigned .....Does my opinion count any more than any other citizen because I’m a Former Army medic? NO it doesn’t , so the fact that this guy could fit his head in a jar doesn’t give his statement any more weight.

Polymarket literally has a running bet on how many tweets Elon Musk makes between March 31st and Apr 7th.

You can't watch a ballgame anymore without having legalized gambling front and center, but the guys at Polymarket are baaaad.

Ok.

They must be making too much money. The established gaming industry doesn't like the competition.
