A North Carolina Republican who cheered President Donald Trump’s war on Iran when it began is now calling it “terrible policy” and blaming it for the GOP’s midterm drubbing.

Rep. Pat Harrigan of North Carolina unloaded on the conflict Wednesday morning during an appearance on Real America’s Voice’s American Sunrise, a week after he barely held on to his own seat.

Harrigan argued the war wiped out the benefit of this year’s record tax refunds for middle-class families.

“Unfortunately, when April 15th came around and tax returns were the largest in the history of our country, we forced that money, to the American middle class, straight into their gas tanks,” he said, per Mediaite.

Don’t let any of these clowns get away with it. They were all on board, ok with everything that was happening until it was clear the people were pissed.

Now they will try to rewrite history and say they are opposed to all the awful shit the MAgAts have been up to this entire time.

Anything to hold onto power for the ghouls.

It’s really up to the media to bring the receipts. Any time they voted; anything they said in public; any sign of capitulation needs to be compiled and thrown at them the instant they try this backdown bullshit.

Somehow I don’t have much faith in the US Fourth Estate to actually do this.

He didn't turn on it enough to vote to allow for Hegseth's impeachment.

Is it a rule they all have to have those stupid hats and put them on the table during meetings?
