Gavin Newsom’s Cowardly Foreign Policy

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   

"But, according to Newsom, California is the shining beacon of affordability, and Trump’s strikes against Iran are the real problem here. "

"As the Trump administration bombs Iran at will, doing much to eliminate the threat to the world posed by the evil Islamic Republic’s terroristic military apparatus, Gavin Newsom has responded to the U.S.’s attack with simpering cowardice. He has issued an automatic denouncement of the war, describing it as “illegal” and “dangerous.” (RELATED: The Democrats’ Epic Fury Over Iran Strikes)

"He gave no thought to the decades of terror and violence that have issued from Tehran, or to the murderous regime’s absolute dedication to developing nuclear weapons and even intercontinental ballistic missiles, no matter the devastating sanctions that mission put on Iran’s people. He also spared no thought to the operation’s immediate success, including the ease with which the U.S. and Israel have gained air superiority over Iran, the 40 Iranian officials wiped out in a single act, and the extent to which the Iranian military has been extraordinarily damaged after just a few days of bombing. 

"Instead of, as a leading presidential candidate should do, considering the merits of the U.S.’s action to help the Iranian people (who just had 36,000 of their own slaughtered by the regime), contemplating how weakening Tehran could do much to promote freedom in the Middle East, and examining what actions are in the best interest of the security and prosperity of the United States, Newsom quickly settled on Trump did it, so it’s bad. (RELATED: The Women Who Would Not Kneel)

"Newsom gave only a cursory comment that the Iranian regime is no good: “The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go.”

"But he quickly gave a strong caveat: “But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people.” . . .

Gavin Newsom slammed for talking out of both sides of his mouth in bizarre response to Trump's Iran attack | Daily Mail Online   

'Which one is it Gavin? They can't have nuclear weapons and need to be removed? Or the operation is not justified?' one X user shot back. 'Pick one stance please. If you want to run for President, you should get comfortable making bold statements on where you stand.'
