Rescue Praise, War Criticism

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling the rescue of a U.S. airman in Iran ‘heroic’, but that’s where his praise ends. He’s still hammering away at what he calls a ‘war of choice’ with Iran, labeling it ‘reckless and costly’. It’s a blunt assessment from Jeffries, who won’t back down from his criticism of the conflict.

Criticism Continues

Jeffries’ comments come on the heels of the daring rescue operation, which has been hailed as a major success. But don’t expect him to start cheering on the war effort anytime soon. He’s made it clear he thinks the whole thing is a mess, and it’s hard to blame him. It’s a war that’s already cost a fortune, and it’s not like we’re getting any closer to a resolution.
