Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) claimed Sunday that President Trump likes to conduct daily strikes on Iran as he called for the US to ramp up pressure rather than pause them to allow negotiations to continue. Kennedy said the US should act quickly to accomplish its war goals as the conflict approaches its sixth month, warning the president that previous daily attacks on Iran are just not working.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said Sunday the United States should not “cut and run” in its conflict with Iran as Democrats call to end the war.

The Republican senator tried to sound homespun, but being flippant isn’t helping matters any.
