BREAKING: Congressman Pat Ryan just unleashed on Republicans for refusing to hold a vote on the Iran war powers resolution before leaving Washington for the holiday weekend.
And he did not hold back.
Ryan, a combat veteran who served multiple tours in Iraq as a U.S. Army intelligence officer, blasted what he called the “chickenhawk” behavior of politicians willing to support military action while avoiding accountability in Congress.
He argued that lawmakers should be forced to publicly vote on whether the United States should continue deeper involvement in conflict with Iran instead of hiding behind procedural excuses and delaying tactics.
Ryan’s frustration comes as Americans are already struggling with rising costs, higher gas prices, and growing fears about another long-term conflict in the Middle East.
Critics of the administration say Washington keeps finding money for military escalation while ordinary families are having trouble paying for groceries, rent, and fuel.
Supporters of the resolution believe Congress — not just the president — should have direct oversight and responsibility when it comes to expanding military action abroad.
Ryan’s remarks quickly exploded online because they tapped into a broader feeling shared by many voters across the political spectrum: exhaustion with endless wars and frustration with politicians who avoid difficult votes.
Whether people agree with his language or not, one thing is clear — the anger over America’s direction on Iran is growing fast.
