Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) pulled absolutely no punches when asked if she was worried about the impact that Donald Trump’s war with Iran is having on America’s national debt. Watch the moment on X.
Since the start of the war on Feb. 28, the cost to U.S. taxpayers has reportedly reached $51 billion — with some experts estimating it could ultimately top $1 trillion.
“Oh my God, yes, of course I am,” Kamlager-Dove told Migrant Insider editor Pablo Manríquez on Thursday.
She pointed to rising costs across the board, noting that gas, fertilizer and “you name it, prices have gone up.”
“And this dude, Dr. Jesus, OK,” she continued, with a reference to Trump’s recent outrage-inducing Jesus posts on social media, “is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you get healthcare.”
