Dem Rep. Goldman on $200 Billion Iran War Supplemental: I Do Not Intend to Vote for Any Money to Support This Lawless Effort

‘He can’t avoid Congress in order to get more money’

EXCERPT:

GOLDMAN: “Well, we'll see if it's actually $200 billion, but I do not intend to vote for any money to support this lawless effort. And this is similar to what you were saying, Jonathan, about -- not -- about beating up your allies, not having those relationships when you need them, Donald Trump has ignored Congress for effectively this entire term. Now, he can't avoid Congress in order to get more money. So he's got to come to us. And if he wants me or others to support this war effort, he's going to have to show us a lot more about what was the basis for getting into this war. What is the plan? What is the objective? How are you intending to go forward? How much are you going to risk American troops? What's going on with the ground troops that are moving over there? We have a million questions that we wanted information on well before he started this attack.”
