In a display of unity and unwavering support for our greatest ally in the Middle East, a group of esteemed Republican senators gathered earlier today for a press conference aptly titled “Standing with Israel and Condemning the Biden Administration’s Reckless $6 Billion Iran Payment.” Led by the formidable Rick Scott of Texas, this formidable group included Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, John Thune of South Dakota, Steve Daines of Montana, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Ted Budd of North Carolina, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, and the ever-reliable John Cornyn of Texas.

Leaving no room for doubt about their commitment to ensuring Israel’s security, the senators decry the Biden administration’s ill-conceived decision to doll out a hefty $6 billion to Iran. This audacious move by the White House sends a dangerous message to our adversaries, emboldening them and undermining the regional stability that we so desperately need. It’s like giving a kid a loaded gun and hoping it won’t go off.
With their characteristic eloquence and conviction, these senators make it abundantly clear that America’s security and national interests must never be compromised. The world is watching, and we can ill afford to send mixed messages to those who wish us harm. Thank goodness for this group of senators who are not afraid to stand up for what is right and protect our values even in the face of unwise policy decisions.
