In a stunning display of political sabotage, radical Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna of California has teamed up with Kentucky RINO Thomas Massie to try forcing a war powers resolution vote next week—all designed to handcuff President Trump as he weighs military action against the Iranian terrorist regime.

The timing couldn't be more suspicious. Just as Trump has deployed the world's largest aircraft carrier to amplify military pressure on Iran's murderous mullahs, these establishment swamp creatures are scrambling to tie the Commander-in-Chief's hands behind his back.

What's truly outrageous here is watching Massie—who claims to be a conservative—actively working with far-left Democrats to undermine our President during a critical moment in foreign policy. This is exactly the kind of backstabbing RINO behavior that patriots are sick and tired of seeing from supposed "allies" in Congress.

Deep State Panic Mode

Make no mistake—this isn't about constitutional principles. This is about the establishment's terror that Trump might actually follow through on his America First promises and hold Iran accountable for decades of terrorism and aggression against our nation and allies.

The same people who stayed silent while Biden handed Afghanistan to the Taliban on a silver platter are now suddenly concerned about "war powers" when Trump shows strength against America's enemies. The hypocrisy is staggering.

"They're terrified that Trump will actually restore American strength and make Iran pay for their crimes," one congressional source told patriots familiar with the situation.

While Khanna's opposition is predictable—he's just another radical leftist who hates America—Massie's betrayal cuts deeper. Kentucky voters didn't send him to Congress to team up with California communists against our own President.

America First Under Attack

This war powers stunt is really about one thing: preventing Trump from protecting American interests and holding our enemies accountable. The establishment knows that when Trump projects strength, America wins—and they can't stand it.

Patriots across the country are watching this shameful display and taking notes. Will other Republicans stand with their President, or will they join the swamp in sabotaging America First policies when it matters most?

This is exactly why we can't trust the establishment Republicans! They're more interested in playing nice with Democrats than supporting America First policies.

Couldn't agree more. These RINOs need to be primaried out!

Absolutely disgusting! Trump had Iran contained and these swamp creatures want to tie his hands again.

The deep state never stops. They sabotaged him for four years and now they're setting up roadblocks before he even takes office.

Can someone explain what specific powers they're trying to limit? I want to make sure I understand this correctly before I call my representatives.

They're trying to require congressional approval before any military action against Iran. Basically hamstringing the Commander in Chief.

My son served three tours in the Middle East and he always said Trump's tough stance kept our troops safer. Now they want to go back to weakness?

Which RINO is it this time? Let me guess - one of the usual suspects from the McCain wing of the party.
