Foster Denounces Trump's Threats to Iran

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement:

"The President of the United States openly threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is nauseating and un-American. A president's words carry real consequences, and they should be used to de-escalate conflict, not push us closer to the brink. This is precisely why our Founding Fathers gave Congress the authority to declare war, rather than any single power-crazed individual.

"Now is the time for Republicans to do what they know is right: speak out and join Democrats to take action to stop this administration before this war of choice spirals further out of control."
