Sen. Ruben Gallego Says He'll Vote To Fund Iran War 1 Day After Calling It 'Dumb'

[AStern]

This isn't good.

While the Arizona Democrat said the conflict wasn’t in America’s “best interest," he told CNN's Kaitlan Collins he'd have the Pentagon's back.

Senator Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) committed to support funding for military action against Iran during a Tuesday stop by CNN, despite calling the operation “dumb” just one day earlier.

While the Democrat said it wasn’t in America’s “best interest” to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer money on an unpopular “war of choice,” he told host Kaitlan Collins that he’d vote for more financial backing for the conflict if the Pentagon asked.

You go to war with the Democrats you have! This is what we've got.

4. Lol, he thinks that Israel and the Gulf state dictators will pay for at least half.

But Gallego also argued Americans shouldn’t be bankrolling everything, adding that he’d want to see at least half of the resources sustaining the action coming from Israel and U.S. allies in the Gulf States.

I am sure the war criminal BiBi and the bone saw butcher MBS got a good laugh from that.
