<p>The congressional “Anti-American Caucus” became more evident when 53 radical left-wing Democrats voted against a House Resolution that declared Iran to be a terrorist nation This was another effort by a significant potion of the Democratic Party to reverse polarities and make America the villain and Iran the victim. Since President Trump launched the attack on Iran, leading Democrats have been serving as propagandist for Tehran – aiding and abetting the most corrupt and dangerous regime in the world – a regime that has called for “Death to America” since 1979.</p>



<p>This unpatriotic cabal has parroted Tehran’s propaganda – calling the war illegal and saying Iran was not an imminent threat &#8212; that negotiations were proceeding well and accused America of “negotiating in bad faith” and “duping” the Iranians. They call it a “war of choice” –-Trump’s choice.</p>



<p>They discourage public support with constant criticism of every kind, real and unreal – from price increases and fatalities to fearmongering about World War III and domestic terrorism. They encourage Iranian resistance with dubious reports of American ammunition shortages and public opposition. They operate on the edge of treason. These are many of the same legislators who tried – and thankfully failed – to pass a pro-Iranian resolution to take away Trump’s ability to conduct military operations.</p>



<p>And now they make their sentiments clear by voting against a Resolution that simply reaffirms the obvious – something that every civilized nation on earth knows – that Iran &#8220;remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.&#8221;</p>



<p>The Resolution went on to say that Iran “poses a direct and persistent threat to the United States and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American citizens.&#8221; It cited the deaths of more than 600 U.S. service personnel in Iraq at the hands of terrorist groups financed by Iran.</p>



<p>The Resolution ended: &#8220;That the House of Representatives declares it is the policy of the United States&#8230; that Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism.&#8221; Who in their right mind could disagree with that?</p>



<p>Despite the efforts of 53 Democrats, the Resolution &#8212; introduced by Florida Congressman Brian Mast &#8212; passed in a 272 to 53 bipartisan vote. Every “no” vote came from a Democrat, with two voting “present” – essentially a “no” vote.</p>



<p>Fortunately, not all Democrats are as fooliosh or disloyal as the Iran 53. It should come as no surprise that “the squad” was firmly in the Iranian camp. Among those voting “no” were Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, lhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. ;</p>



<p>Here is the complete list of the 53 apostates in alphabetical order – in case you want to express your outrage.</p>

<p>It is important to understand that the Resolution had nothing to do with the conflict itself. It was not a vote for or against the war. It was only to label Iran what it is. For example, Democrat Congressman Adam Smith voted in favor of the Resolution, &#8220;I agree with the principal assertion of this resolution that Iran is a bad actor.” But added, “I support this Resolution. I do not support the president’s war of choice with Iran.&#8221; ; The infamous 53, on the other hand, were voting against merely labeling Iran what it is. They were essentially saying that Iran is <strong>not</strong> a terrorist nation. Really?</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

53 Democrats Vote that Iran is not a terrorist nation
