Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has long warned against the danger of Donald Trump starting a war with Iran, and after the president authorized the assassination of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani, she hasn’t bitten her tongue.
Over the weekend, the Hawaii Representative released a series of videos questioning the decision-making of Trump and the Pentagon, Newsweek reports.
“Trump’s actions last night in bombing the Baghdad airport with the targeted killing of Iran’s top military general was an act of war — with no authorization or declaration of war from Congress,” she said in one video.
“He has put us in a state of war with Iran and seriously escalated this tat for tat conflict, pushing us deeper into an endless quagmire. So the question is: What’s the end goal? What are we trying to achieve here?”
