WASHINGTON — Southern Minnesota’s =representative in Congress, Brad Finstad, fell predictably 100% in line with President Trump’s massive attack to kill Iran’s political leadership and to destroy their military. Like Trump, Finstad called the Iran “a persistent threat to our national security.” Neither Trump nor Finstad, however, has provided evidence of any imminent threat to the United States. In a prepared statement Finstad chose not to mention that Trump had failed to consult Congress about launching the war despite the constitutional that he do so.
Verbatim
Finstad, a Republican, of Congressional District MN-1: “I support President Trump’s decisive action to ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. For decades, the Iranian regime has been the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, openly hostile to American values and a safeguarding the American people and defending our nation must remain our highest priority.”
