ROCHESTER, Minn. — Congressional candidate Jake Johnson faulted President Trump’s all-out surprise attack on Iran as a giant misstep. The first wave eradicated Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of his top staff. Hundreds of civilians also died. Johnson squared off against MN-1 incumbent Brad Finstad, a Trump toady, who earlier praised the attack. Johnson’s response; The attack has opened the path of “another open-ended conflict.” Meanwhile, he said, trillions of dollars of U.S. dollars are going into a war while U.S. families are struggling to make ends meet. Johnson called the attack “a brazen and unlawful rush toward war.” Congress, he said, must act immediately to stop Trump from further escalation.
