GOP Senator Ron Johnson Backs War as Vital to Ending Iran Threat

Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican noted for his focus on curbing spending, defended President Donald Trump’s pursuit of the war against Iran ahead of a possible supplemental funding request.

“I hate to see the death, I hate to see the destruction,” Johnson said Wednesday in a Bloomberg Television interview. “But the sad fact of the matter is, Iran has been at war with us for 47 years.”
