'Poor answer': MAGA lawmaker gives Rubio an F for 'disappointing' Iran comments
A MAGA lawmaker gave Secretary of State Marco Rubio a low grade for his "troubling" answer about the Trump administration's strikes on Iran.
On Saturday, U.S. and Israeli troops coordinated strikes across Iran, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple top political and military leaders. Since then, the White House has waffled on its justification for the strikes. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that the administration believed Iran would attack the U.S. if it were attacked by another country like Israel.
Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) described Rubio's answer as "disappointing" during an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "the Source.
"I think he's been a phenomenal Secretary of State, and I have a great deal of confidence in him," Davidson said. "And I think it was just a poor answer. I hope there's better intel on that."
The Trump administration has also offered shifting answers for its justification, such as Iran's enrichment of uranium and continued development of long-range missiles. That's despite Trump claiming last year that the administration had "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities.
