RINOs like Nikki Hale and Sen. Lindsey Graham revealed their true colors as they called to “attack” Iran and “hit them hard” in retaliation for the attacks by Hezbollah, Iran-backed militants, on one of the American outposts in Jordan near the Syrian border.
Senator Lindsey Graham wrote on X, “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.”
The South Carolina senator also said, “The only thing the Iranian regime understands is force. Until they pay a price with their infrastructure and their personnel, the attacks on U.S. troops will continue.”
For many, Graham’s statement is advocating for war.
Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) soon followed and quipped, “Target Tehran.”
Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson did not hold his tirades against the two lawmakers and called them “f—-ng lunatics” on X.
Carlson blasted at Graham and said, “What exactly would happen to the United States if we declared war on Iran and started blowing up their infrastructure?”
“Lindsey Graham has no clue what would happen. He hasn’t thought it though. He’s almost 70 years old and he has no children. He doesn’t care.”
The former FOX News host added that “we are already” at war with Iran and criticized the leaders in the Capitol for warmongering.
Many personalities threw shade against Graham and other neoconservatives who called for retaliation amid the already disastrous situation in the Middle East caused by Biden’s meddling.
Businessman and former Republican nominee Vivek Ramaswamy wrote, “It’s disgusting and says a lot about the kind of GOP they’re trying to re-create.”
Another Republican who backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Rep. Thomas Massie, confronted Graham and said, “Is there anyone you don’t want to bomb?”
Some questioned the veracity of the reports, as some claimed that the attack occurred in Syria, where the U.S. is illegally occupying Syrian territory.
Nikki Haley, Trump’s lone rival, also wasted no time and beat the war drums against Iran.
During a campaign rally, a man heckled Haley and shouted, “No new wars!” and “I’m done with the military-industrial-complex!”
Haley has long been calling to attack Iran. Last year, after the Hamas siege on Israel’s border, she even remarked that it was about time to “finish them.”
Without weighing the consequences, Haley argued that the attack on Israel was also an attack on the U.S. as Iran was hurting our “friends.”
Haley was known to be part of Boeing’s board of directors, a defense contractor, and has worked for personalities involved within the U.S. military-industrial complex.
On Tuesday, Carlson interviewed Joe Kent, a US veteran who lost his wife in the war.
“[These warmongers in the DC including neoconservative RINOs]constantly leave our servicemen in unsafe locations along the Jordan, Syrian, and Iraqi border,” says Kent.
The veteran went on to criticize lawmakers in the DC for pushing more war but it was the foot soldiers, the military men who were being used as bait to be attacked by Iranian militiamen.
“The war machine votes to leave our troops in the middle east as bait, funds our enemies until they kill Americans, then uses the dead troops as a justification for a new war,” the congressional candidate and Gold Star veteran said.
“This scam only benefits Iran & the defense contractors who own too many members of our government.”
Former President Donald Trump offered his sympathies to the families of the three soldiers who died from the attack and pressed for the need to return to peace.
“This terrible day is yet more proof that we need an immediate return to PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH so that there will be no more chaos, no more destruction, and no more loss of precious American lives.”
While I seldom agree with Gram, you have to stop fighting the symptoms and fight the disease. Iran doesn’t care how many proxy soldiers you kill, they can always get more, but if you take out the ayatollah and the ruling government leaders, they will get the point! No ground invasion, just a MOAB in the right spot!
