"I would say stay concerned. I mean, be concerned. Be vigilant. Hold our feet to the fire. Keep us honest on that issue. The congressman said his advice extended to the president, but he joked it might be better if the president didn't know he was saying that. Nobody's above reproach. Just don't tell the president I said that."
"The strikes, which Trump says are part of a larger operation that could stretch weeks or longer, has already taken out a number of high-ranking Iranian officials, including the country's supreme leader. The actions have led to backlash among some Republicans, who argue his latest foreign policy actions reflect the opposite of what he sold on the campaign trail when he railed against regime change and drawn-out wars in the Middle East."
"Lindsey hasn't seen a fist fight that he hasn't wanted to turn into a BOMBING RAID, so I just take it with a grain of salt. While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Burchett dismissed a call from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to bomb Lebanon in an effort to target the terrorist group Hezbollah."
Rep. Tim Burchett addressed MAGA voters concerned about U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran escalating into another prolonged conflict. He advised them to stay concerned and hold leaders accountable, including President Trump, despite joking the president shouldn't know he said this. Burchett emphasized that nobody is above reproach. The strikes have eliminated high-ranking Iranian officials, including Iran's supreme leader, and have drawn criticism from Republicans who argue Trump's actions contradict his campaign promises against regime change and Middle East wars. Six Americans were killed in Kuwait by an Iranian drone strike. Burchett also dismissed Senator Lindsey Graham's call to bomb Lebanon to target Hezbollah.
