Wednesday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cHannity,\u201d Sen. John Fetterman (R-PA) discussed his support for the Trump administration\u2019s military actions against Iran and how he is the lone Democrat to back these efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201c[L]et me see if I understand where your party\u2019s at here,\u201d host Sean Hannity said. \u201cThat if President Trump hits legitimate military targets in the middle of a conflict, that would be bridges and infrastructure, that has happened in every wars that you can think of. The president hits that, legitimate targets, that\u2019s a war crime. If the president has a negotiated settlement and doesn\u2019t bomb them into the stone ages, giving peace a little bit of a chance, something I thought liberals liked, he gets criticized for that. Is there anything this man can do right, considering he did wipe out their nuclear enrichment capability and wiped out pretty much their entire military infrastructure?\u201d<\/p>\n
Fetterman replied, \u201cWell, one, I would just like to just start by saying I think what our military\u2019s accomplished is profound and significant and important. I mean, it has effectively destroyed its capabilities and destroyed its navy, and they really haven\u2019t been able to really put a glove on us through this entire Epic Fury campaign. And furthermore, I would like to remind people too, every single Democrat running for president and every single Democrat in the Senate said we can never allow them to acquire nuclear weapon. And now, if you want to talk about a war crime, you know, Iran is a 47- year-old war crime, what they continue to behave. So, you know, I as a Democrat, I supported what President Trump did, you know, to actually call Iran accountable and I think it\u2019s been successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you\u2019ve discussed and I agree, it\u2019s not finished yet, you know, but now where we are now, we are 38 days into it,\u201d he continued. \u201cI mean, the Ukrainian War is in over four years. You know, all these other kinds of conflicts are years, years. We\u2019re not even for 40 days yet. So, where are we at right now? Yes. It\u2019s like if you make these kinds of let\u2019s go for the 25th Amendment and then, you know, then we have \u2013 \u2013 we have a ceasefire, then it\u2019s like TACO, TACO, TACO. I mean, you know, like you can\u2019t have it both ways. I mean, so where we are, it\u2019s like strange to be gleeful \u2014 gleeful that, you know, that we still have to accomplish some things and make these kinds of statements. I mean, you know, I\u2019m old enough to remember we used to root for our military, and we would all agree that Iran is the world\u2019s leading terrorism underwriter. I mean, they are the part of the evil empire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, remember what Iran\u2019s done,\u201d Fetterman added. \u201cYou know, they underwritten 10\/7. They have killed thousands of Americans over the near five decades. You know, like where we are right now \u2014 yeah, we have to finish it out without a doubt. But where we are now, you know, as the first president to actually do something about it and remind, that\u2019s why I\u2019ll be the only Democrat that support this.\u201d<\/p>\n
