'Iran ground invasion will make US poorer': Matt Gaetz WARNS war could hurt Americans

Right-wing cable news host and ex-Republican congressman Matt Gaetz has issued a strong warning against any further escalation of President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, predicting it would have dire consequences for Americans. Speaking at CPAC in Texas, Gaetz opened his whistle-stop remarks by declaring pointedly: “I come from the wing of the Republican Party that is only loyal to one nation and that is the United States of America.” A clear rejection of the notion that Israel has the power to dictate the terms of U.S. involvement in the conflict, the speaker ran through a list of topical issues – blaming Democrats for long TSA lines at airports, championing the SAVE Act on voter ID, attacking trans rights, pressuring the Senate – before returning to his principal theme.
