Dem Rep. Quigley: ‘No One Is Cheering on Iran, We Are Cheering Against a President Who‘s Doing Something That‘s Illegal’

EXCERPT:

QUIGLEY: “No. I mean, I think what we‘re hearing from our constituents, when we go back, is that they don‘t want another bloody, endless, costly war. And 300,000 people in Illinois are going to lose their access to food on an ongoing basis, the SNAP benefits. About half a million are going to pay twice as much for health care benefits. This war is costing $1 billion a day. So, we could have taken care of our own people. This is a president who always said America first. So, no one‘s cheering on Iran. We‘re cheering against a president who‘s doing something that‘s illegal. It‘s costly. We‘ve already lost service members. It‘s wrecking havoc on our economy. It threatens us and the homeland with terrorist attacks. So, this isn‘t — I think it‘s patriotic to cheer for peace and to cheer for common sense and to cheer for diplomacy. Because, again, after all, if he hadn‘t gotten rid of JCPOA, the regime was not moving forward with a movement toward a nuclear weapon. So, the president can say whatever he wants, the reality, I think the American people understand.”
