Look, Nancy Pelosi is trying her best.
She wants to satisfy her party, she wants to hold the President accountable, and she wants to take care of the American people – or so she says.
But when Pelosi was caught saying this on tape, things went from bad to worse.
As we all know, Iran is an ever-present threat in the Middle East.
For the past few years – after Obama gave them billions of dollars and eased sanctions against them – they’ve been relatively quiet.
But when Donald Trump correctly took a hard stance against them and withdrew from the nuclear agreement Obama had made, Iran began to stir.
It’s safe to say Iran is an enemy of America. They’ve financed rogue kingdoms at war against our people and have funded ISIS for the past decade.
Which is why it’s startling to hear Pelosi say that, even though there’s clear evidence Iran is attacking us, she would not wage war against them.
Appearing on CNN, Pelosi said, “We have absolutely no appetite for going to war or to be provocative, to create situations that might evoke responses where mistakes could be made.”
She then stated she’s fundamentally against military action because she doesn’t believe there’s significant reason for the U.S. to fight Iran and that Trump is just trying to undermine Obama’s legacy.
“What is their motivation to be provocative with the Iranians? Why did the president turn his back on the Iranian nuclear agreement? What’s the logic except some other issue — that it was negotiated by President Obama?”
“We had so many national security experts, whether they were ambassadors, generals, admirals and all the rest, supporting the agreement.”
It’s almost as if she forgot Iran has actively thwarted security efforts in the Middle East for decades.
They are one of the chief financiers of Hezbollah, who attacks our ally Israel every single day.
Not to mention that even when we had sanctions against Iran to prevent them from building nuclear warheads, they ignored the international communities wishes and went forward with enriching uranium.
It just shows that Democrats only want to back a war when one of their own is in office.
Which is a bad look when you realize inaction leaves us open to further attack.
And right now, tensions are at a boiling point.
Over the weekend, a possible Iranian attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman illustrates the need for a firm hand to regulate Iranian violence.
And Iran sure is acting like they were behind this.
After we accused them of the attack, Iran announced they will be breaking the terms of the nuclear deal by surpassing its stockpile cap of enriched-uranium in the next 10 days.
It’s almost like they planned this from the start.
But Pelosi doesn’t care.
And now things could go from bad to worse.
