In light of new CNN exclusive reporting that found the U.S. has made weapons linked to Yemen deaths since at least 2015, Rep. Khanna issued the below statement:

"How can someone look at these photos and continue to support this war in Yemen? While this reporting just confirms what we already knew, seeing the photos of these U.S.-made bombs should be a wake-up call to all Americans. American bombs are being dropped on innocent civilians in Yemen and we are fueling the planes that drop these bombs. The American people know far too little about the role we are playing in a war that is causing suffering for millions of people. Hopefully this news will reach the living rooms of all Americans, because I have faith the great people of this country do not support a war like this."
