Rep. Massie says he feels ‘misled’ by Trump after Iran strikes

Exclusive: Representative Thomas Massi accuses President Donald Trump of liquidating the pledges of his campaign of his damages on Saturday night on Iran.

“I feel a little misleading,” Massi told Fox News Digital in an interview on Sunday afternoon. “I did not think it would allow the new regions to determine its foreign policy and make us to another war.”

“Others feel the same way, who supported Trump – I think the political danger to him is that he urges a degree of indifference to the republican base, and they fail to appear to keep us in the majority in the middle of the period.”

Massi, a conservative liberal that was cautious about foreign interference by the United States, was one of the most vocal critics in the recent Trump administration.

American glove bombers struck three major nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran on Saturday night.

Trump and other leaders of the Republican Party praised the operation as a victory, while even the supporters of Israel gave a rare praise.

Trump said on Saturday night: “The Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely obliterated,” Trump said on Saturday night. “And Iran, the fatwa in the Middle East, you should make peace now. If they don’t do it. Future attacks will be much larger and easier.”

But the progressive and the growing wing of the Republican Party, the Republican Party, has exploded as an unnecessary escalation of tensions in the Middle East, at a time when Israel was involved in a week’s conflict with Iran as well.

Senior officials said to Trump himself that the United States is not seeking war with Iran.

“We are not in war with Iran,” Vice Vice President JD Vance told NBC News’ “Meet the Press”, “Sunday,” We are not in war with Iran. We are in war with the Iranian nuclear program. “

Massi told Fox News Digital that these assurances were “ridiculous.”

“He was involved in the war. We are now participating in a hot war between two countries,” the Republican said in Kentucky.

“You cannot say that this is not a war of war, it is a blow out of war,” he said. “This is inside, geographically and Zamina, from war.”

Republicans in Kentucky from Trump have separated on several other occasions, and he was one of the few officials of the Republican Party who explicitly collided with the president – especially in government spending and foreign interference.

He participated in the leadership of a decision to prevent the “United States armed forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran” alongside Representative Rowa, extended California, which they presented days before the strikes. Senator Tim Kane, D-FA, leads the Senate counterpart.

Massi pointed out that his team was looking for ways to obtain the decision in the House of Representatives Hall-while he admitted a possible opposition from the pro-Israel groups and the leaders of congress.

“We will try to use home privileges to get this to the ground,” he said.

“People used to say,” Why did you make this decision? The President will not strike Iran. “He hit Iran.

Defense Minister Beit Higseth said during a press conference on Sunday morning that the administration had correctly informed Congress about strikes in the current statute-even when progressive and some conservatives accuse him of bypassing a joint government branch.

“They were notified after the planes came out safely,” said Higseth. “We have complied with the requirements of notification of the law of war authorities.”

But Massi pointed out that the law of the war authorities itself requires Congress to vote on American military intervention in foreign countries within 60 days, if the conflict continues.

“Even if they are able to circumvent the vote on the decision that I and Ro khanna made, we will have to vote at some point if this is a long connection,” he said.

The decisions of the war authorities can be called to vote in the House of Representatives 15 days after the failure by the relevant committee, after referring the legislation to that committee.

When it was reached for the comment, the White House referred to Fox News Digital to the latest in Trump, describing Massi as a “coach” and the threat to recruit a basic competitor against him.
