Four Republicans Betray Trump with Vote on Presidential Powers

The House passed a resolution to end U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict, and four Republican members decided this was the perfect time to cross the aisle and vote with the same Democrats who spent eight years under Obama shipping pallets of cash to the mullahs. According to The Gateway Pundit, the resolution passed with these four GOP defectors providing critical support.

Let that sink in. Four Republicans just voted to pull the plug on holding Iran accountable — with the party that literally funded Iran's nuclear program.

The four Republicans who crossed over need to be named, because voters deserve to know exactly who's carrying water for the left on national security. These aren't profiles in courage. These are profiles in cowardice — politicians who'd rather get a nice write-up in the Washington Post than stand with their own party on one of the most critical foreign policy issues of our time.

The Democrats, of course, are thrilled. They've wanted to end any military pressure on Iran since the moment Trump took office. They watched Iran fund terrorism across the Middle East, build up its nuclear capabilities, and threaten our allies — and their response was to send John Kerry over for tea and a photo op. Now they've got a House resolution to wave around, and they couldn't have done it without their four new best friends on the Republican side.

Here's what these four GOP members apparently forgot: Iran is not our friend. Iran has never been our friend. Iran's regime chants "Death to America" the way normal countries sing their national anthem. And the pressure campaign Trump has been running — sanctions, military posture, diplomatic isolation — is the only language the ayatollahs understand.

But sure, let's pass a resolution to end that. What could go wrong?

The vote happened on June 3, and it's already being celebrated by every anti-war leftist and Iranian sympathizer on social media. Meanwhile, the four Republican defectors are probably drafting their press releases about "bipartisanship" and "bringing our troops home" as if they just brokered peace in the Middle East instead of handing Iran a propaganda victory on a silver platter.

President Trump has made it clear that maximum pressure on Iran is non-negotiable. The regime is feeling the squeeze from sanctions, their economy is in freefall, and the last thing we should be doing is signaling weakness. But that's exactly what this resolution does — it tells Tehran that America's resolve has cracks, and four of those cracks have R's next to their names.

To the four Republicans who voted for this resolution: your constituents sent you to Washington to fight for American strength, not to audition for a CNN panel. Pick a side. Because right now, you picked the wrong one.
