Once again, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has broken ranks with most members of the Democratic Party in offering praise and support for President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s sensitive nuclear sites on Saturday.
“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS. Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world,” Fetterman posted on the X platform along with a screenshot of the president’s initial statement on the strike.
Meanwhile, members of Congress from both parties had mixed reactions to the strikes, with several members grousing about which branch – the Legislative or the Executive – has the more significant war powers authority.
