Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) slammed President Donald Trump for entering the United States into a war with Iran, which he called “one of the greatest presidential blunders of our time.”
The Democratic lawmaker unleashed on the commander in chief while appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday after moderator Kristen Welker asked him if he supports the Trump administration’s “efforts to try to negotiate a deal with Iran to bring this war to an end.”
“I don’t support this administration, period,” Booker bluntly responded. “They’ve gotten us into what will be looked at as one of the greatest blunders, presidential blunders, of our time.”
“Remember this president had stated objectives, none of which he is achieving right now from the nuclear program all the way to, frankly, regime change,” he continued. “The regime is more extreme. They’ve shown an asymmetric ability to choke up the Strait of Hormuz, [which] has caused a global oil shock.”
The New Jersey senator went on to decry that “costs continue to rise” for Americans as the war rages on.
