“We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home while, at the same time, stumbling into continuing catalogue of catastrophic events abroad. Fast-forward 1 year, and now, it is this administration dragging the United States into an illegal war with Iran, one that has already taken American lives and spread chaos and destruction to an entire region. Iran's authoritarian regime is brutal, corrupt, oppressive, but the President's approach leaves us facing profound, unanswered questions about new dangers that may be unleashed. I don't think there can be a clearer question raised about this administration than the President's own words said a year ago. We have a government that can't manage a simple crisis at home, and at the same time, we have one that is actively seeking catastrophic conflicts abroad. Every strike, every military escalation, every headline is a distraction. It pulls our attention overseas from the urgent economic struggles that Americans face at home. It distracts from the hard, less glamorous work it takes to make life more affordable for the American people. Iran is only the latest in a long line of distractions. Right now, the United States and Israel are hitting targets all across Iran.”
