To my Democratic colleagues: 40 years of Iranian aggression needs to be dealt with forcefully.

Iran is:

▶️ The largest state sponsor of terrorism.
▶️ Threatening the existence of Israel by arming Hezbollah to the teeth.
▶️ Providing arms to kill Americans in Iraq.
▶️ Dismembering Syria and Yemen.
▶️ Killing their own citizens who are demanding freedom

President Trump is right to demand this regime change its behavior.

The Democratic Party’s pathetic response to the killing of Soleimani only emboldens our enemies.
I will oppose any War Powers resolution pushed by @SpeakerPelosi so as to allow this President to have the latitude he needs as Commander in Chief.

The last thing America needs is 535 Commanders in Chief. Americans elected one: @realdonaldtrump.

I’m very pleased the Senate has rejected Democrats’ request to call additional witnesses after the House chose not to.

As I have stated, this is not an impeachable offense and the witnesses sought by the House managers were available to them in the House.
Their testimony would not change the fact that this is a non-impeachable offense and not the kind of event the Founding Fathers had in mind when it comes to removing a president and preventing them from running for reelection.
The fact is the House chose not to call witnesses like John Bolton because they wanted to impeach President Trump before the election.

It has nothing to do with finding the truth.

Of all the insane things being said about this impeachment debacle - and there is a lot to choose from - one of the most ridiculous is to say Senate Republicans are “Blocking Witnesses.”

This is an outrageous claim.
FACT:

It was the House of Representatives who refused to pursue the testimony of the witnesses because they wanted to impeach the President before Christmas.

Only in Washington would someone call that decision “Blocking Witnesses.”
In most of America it’s called: #YourOwnFault.

It is my opinion, based on the law and facts, that additional testimony is unnecessary in this case.
For the sake of argument, one could assume everything attributable to John Bolton is accurate and still the House case would fall well below the standards to remove a president from office.
It is clear to me that there is ample evidence for the President to be concerned about conflicts of interest on behalf of Hunter Biden and that Vice President Joe Biden’s failure to take appropriate action was unacceptable.

@Dateline_DC @newsmax @MessageFromLen @alain_4u @Liz_Wheeler @ChanelRion @NCRIUS @SenTedCruz @tedcruz “This resolution is designed to lend the Senate’s voice to the noble and just cause of the Iranian people who are demanding their freedom at the risk of life and limb,” Sen.

1)
 Let’s talk about another @nytimes piece written by #Iran apologist/lobbyist @farnazfassihi aimed at providing life support for Tehran’s mullahs by painting a moderate & innocent image of a ruthless regime.

This piece is published as sanctions still loom over @JZarif.
2)
 “To ordinary Iranians and reformists, that made him a hero.”
Fassihi gives no source.
There is no unbiased polling in Iran under the mullahs.
If we look at @JZarif’s tweets, the replies are full of criticism & insults in Farsi/English to the mullahs’ top diplomat & the regime.
3)
 This indicates Fassihi’s entire objective: preventing sanctions against Zarif.
