Dem Rep. Moulton: The Iran War Is a ‘Huge Gift’ to Iran and ‘Huge Cost’ to American Taxpayers

‘I’m embarrassed for the United States of America’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

MOULTON: "No, it’s not even close to true. In fact, we’ve been giving Iran gifts of billions of dollars. First of all, I think the $25 billion is totally inaccurate. I think it’s way higher than that. The first request the administration floated for Congress was $200 billion. They’ve just continued to revise that down. As more people push back at that enormous price tag. But on top of that, when Trump actually released the sanctions on Iran, I mean, get this straight, Iran is killing Americans, and he releases oil sanctions on them so that they can sell their oil at market prices. That gave them an additional $14 billion just in the first few weeks. They can buy a lot of missiles for $14 billion. So this war is a huge gift to Iran. It’s a huge cost to the American taxpayers. And let me also say this as a marine veteran, the idea that the commander in chief would be calling marines, pirates, pirates for enforcing sanctions on on ships, it’s just a disgrace. I guess it’s not surprising coming from a draft dodger like Trump, but it’s just an absolute disgrace."
