Democratic Rep Ro Khanna expressed shock at President Donald Trump's Truth Social Post laden with abusive words for Iran and said the president is failing US troops in Iran. On NBC's Meet the Press, Khanna said he would not vote for any additional funding for the war. In a Truth Social post earlier today, Trump warned Iran in abusive words that if it doesn’t make a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before Tuesday, the country will be “living in Hell.” The choice of words drew criticism.
"Well, I am relieved and what an extraordinary achievement of our troops. I mean, they really deserve to be commended. But you know what the thing, Kristen, is — is that the president is really failing them. To have a tweet this morning cursing out and threatening war crimes, to be saying that we’ve destroyed the ballistic missile capacity of Iran and yet having troops flying over that are being shot at. We need to end this war now. We need an immediate ceasefire. Iran, Israel, and the United States need to stop bombing and have a negotiated settlement," Khanna said.
