Sen. Ruben Gallego Says He'll Vote To Fund Iran War 1 Day After Calling It 'Dumb' [View all]

This isn't good.

While the Arizona Democrat said the conflict wasn’t in America’s “best interest," he told CNN's Kaitlan Collins he'd have the Pentagon's back.

Senator Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) committed to support funding for military action against Iran during a Tuesday stop by CNN, despite calling the operation “dumb” just one day earlier.

While the Democrat said it wasn’t in America’s “best interest” to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer money on an unpopular “war of choice,” he told host Kaitlan Collins that he’d vote for more financial backing for the conflict if the Pentagon asked.
