Democrats began complaining the moment that Trump’s operation in Iran began, and now that they’ve had time to think about it, the people they are currently most likely to nominate in 2028 are making their opposition known.
There are no surprises here. They have to be against this because of Trump.
FOX News reports:
Dems’ potential 2028 hopefuls come out against US strikes on IranSome of the top rumored Democratic potential candidates for president in 2028 are showing a united front in opposing U.S. strikes on Iran, with several high-profile figures accusing President Donald Trump of launching an unnecessary and unconstitutional war.Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Trump was “dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want.””Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice,” Harris said in a statement Saturday following the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes throughout Iran.”This is a dangerous and unnecessary gamble with American lives that also jeopardizes stability in the region and our standing in the world,” she continued. “What we are witnessing is not strength. It is recklessness dressed up as resolve.”California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered some of his sharpest criticism during a book tour stop Saturday night in San Francisco, accusing Trump of manufacturing a crisis.”It stems from weakness masquerading as strength,” Newsom said. “He lied to you. So reckless is the only way to describe this.””He didn’t describe to the American people what the endgame is here,” Newsom added. “There wasn’t one. He manufactured it.”…Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a leading progressive voice and “Squad” member, accused Trump of dragging Americans into a conflict they did not support.”The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic,” Ocasio-Cortez said.”Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead,” she continued.
Last night on FOX News, Brit Hume talked about Trump Derangement Syndrome and how it has trapped Democrats in this position:
BRIT HUME: “The public reaction is likely to be favorable, and I think these Democrats are kind of trapped.””These Democrats, with rare exception…feel their job in life is to resist and oppose Donald Trump in every way, almost no matter what he does.”“Over time, those who are critical may feel vindicated if things start to go badly, but if they don’t, they’re going to be stuck with this.”“If the Iranian regime goes down, and things turn out well in Iran, that will be a burden around their necks.”
