Arrington Blasts House Democrats' Disturbing Resolution to Appease Iran

Statement

Date: Jan. 9, 2020
Location: Washington, DC

Today, Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) released the following statement opposing House Democrats' resolution to limit the President's ability to defend America against Iranian aggression:

"It's one thing to weaponize impeachment to discredit the President, but it's another to handcuff our Commander-in-Chief and jeopardize the safety of our soldiers by preventing them from defending themselves," said Arrington.

"If this resolution were to become law, it would handcuff our Commander-in-Chief, jeopardize the safety of our troops, and undermine our national security."

"This is not a resolution, it's a retreat and a disturbing insight into the naïve and impotent ideology of appeasement. It would be a death warrant, not for the worst of terrorists, but for the best of Americans -- our sons and daughters on the battlefield who would be left defenseless, sitting ducks for a murderous mob of mullahs in Iran and Iranian-backed militias throughout the Middle East."
