Pro-Trump lawmaker lashes out over MAGA backlash to Trump attack: ‘I could care less’
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) lashed out at his former GOP House colleague Saturday after being confronted on CNN with the considerable MAGA opposition to the Trump administration’s unprecedented attack on Iran earlier in the day.That colleague was former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who spent a considerable amount of time Saturday morning condemning President Donald Trump for having authorized the strikes on Iran, strikes that have sparked fears of a wider war, economic crises and untold civilian casualties.When asked about Greene’s opposition on CNN, Lawler immediately dismissed his former House colleague.“This is the same woman who speculated about Jewish space lasers; I don't take anything she has to say about foreign policy seriously, and frankly, I think she's one of the dumbest people to have ever served in Congress,” Lawler said. “So I really couldn't care less what thought she offers on this situation.”The CNN host pushed back on Lawler’s dismissal, noting that beyond Greene, a number of MAGA followers have voiced opposition to the attack.“Sure, there are people across the broad spectrum of politics in both parties that have different perspectives,” Lawler admitted. “From my vantage point, if you want peace and stability – not just in the Middle East, but around the globe – you need to take action. The fact is, Iran, China and Russia have been engaged in an unholy alliance that has sought to undermine and destabilize the U.S., Israel, Europe and the free world.”
