“I pray for our troops and everyone else affected by the reckless, impulsive, and destructive capacity of this President."

"Donald Trump repealed a deal that stopped Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He promised that getting rid of that deal would stop a future war. This morning, we went to war to stop the same regime from obtaining the same weapons.
"I do not defend the Iranian regime's bad behavior. However, our country watched regime change experiments in Iraq and Afghanistan fail for two decades. I am baffled that Trump will try agin with a larger, richer country more capable of defending itself.
