MN Congressional Democrats Oppose, Republicans Support Trump’s Airstrikes in Iran

(Learfield News/Washington DC) There’s partisan reaction from Minnesota’s congressional delegation to the U.S. airstrikes against nuclear facilities in Iran.

Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig said the president’s unilateral decision to launch direct strikes and threaten a wider, open-ended war in the Middle East without congressional debate or authorization puts American and allied troops and civilians at risk.

Republican Congressman Pete Stauber said President Trump’s decision to surgically remove this threat was decisive leadership with the power of our extraordinary military force. He says, “this is peace through strength.”
