Far-left “Squad” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) were among dozens of House Democrats this week that voted against reaffirming Iran as the “largest state sponsor of terrorism.”
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), passed in a 372-53 vote Thursday, with only Democrats opposing the nonbinding measure – which also declared that Iran “provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.”
Lefty Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Summer Lee (D-Pa.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Al Green (D-Texas), along with New York’s Yvette Clarke and Nydia Velázquez, were among the lawmakers joining Ocasio-Cortez and Omar in voting against the resolution.
The White House noted that “State Departments of both parties have declared since 1984” that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism.
“Just 3 years ago, a resolution condemning the terrorist Iranian regime passed the House by a vote of 420-1,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X. “Now 53 House Democrats just refused to reaffirm that Iran remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.
“Trump Derangement Syndrome is melting their brains.”
Mast’s resolution further stated that Iran “poses a direct and persistent threat to the United States and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American citizens.”

How many voted Aye under Biden that now voted Nay?
Ahh, I see.
Anyone ask those people why they changed their vote from 3 yrs ago?
The whole of the DNC is ‘the Hamas wing’...
Sad, but true. I pray for the day when the dhimmicraps will wake up, smell the coffee, and realize that Islam (in any and all of its forms) is a cult; a cancer on humanity deserving only of the death it seeks for us.
Obama is the leader of this wing of the party. He funneled billions to the mullahs to make them a nuclear power in the middle east.
Greatest President ever
Definitely part of Iran’s Battle Plan - it has always worked for them.
“Anyone ask those people why they changed their vote from 3 yrs ago?”
Probably because they knew the Biden Autopen Regime would take no action against the “Death to America” scum that they relate so well with.
the D party machine bosses are enemies of America and they’re certainly not hiding it from us anymore
Last night I heard AOC whining about this “forever war,” which as of yesterday was 6 days long.
How do such people manage to infest the halls of Congress?* She’s as dumb as Greta Thunberg.
*rhetorical q.
If I had press credentials, I would ask each one to explain their vote. Alas, no one in the MSM has the stones to ask anything but softball questions. Journalism? It’s a bad joke.
The socialist bartender scores poorly when predicting the future. Only 4.88 years left.
How do these people(LOL) ever get a security clearance ?
Both the Hou$e and $enate are full of traitors now.
More to the point, why are they wasting their time to vote again? Do something more productive or wait, nevermind, if you keep doing this then you can’t screw up anything else. Disregard.
This is the same as voting against reaffirming that 1 + 1 = 2.
The Dem voting base is frighteningly stupid.
Translation of AOC into English is POS.
