On Tuesday\u2019s broadcast of MS NOW\u2019s \u201cThe Last Word,\u201d Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) argued that America has \u201cspent 75 years trying to say, with all our flaws, and God knows we\u2019ve got a lot of flaws, we were the good guys. We don\u2019t have that claim anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Warner said, \u201cI\u2019ve been across Virginia countless times in the last few days. I\u2019ve said, how many of you are willing to put your sons or daughters or grandchildren on the ground in Iran to fight this war? And all of this was knowable. It\u2019s not just \u2014 this is not just political. This is like who we are as a nation, who we are as a world leader, and how we have actually made America and our allies weaker in that region, 47 days in, and there is no easy exit for anyone. Even if he declares victory tomorrow, the energy crisis \u2014 do not take my word, look at anybody, gas, natural gas, jet fuel, fertilizer, aluminum. This will be with us for, not weeks, but months and potentially years. And a president that promised no foreign wars and less prices, it\u2019s why the rest of the country is turning against us.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cAnd what you did so brilliantly, and it makes me \u2014 just my heart sick, is looking at how we are viewed around the world. We have spent 75 years trying to say, with all our flaws, and God knows we\u2019ve got a lot of flaws, we were the good guys. We don\u2019t have that claim anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
