Iran

Jacobs (D-CA-51) 01/09/2023: Tweet – “It's long overdue for a coherent foreign policy strategy that both addresses American overreach and responds to external aggression from countries like Russia, China, and Iran. In Biden's Shadow, Progressives Are Forging Their Own Foreign-Policy Agenda... | foreignpolicy.com”

Iraq

Mills (R-FL-7) 01/08/2023: In reply to Tweet@VoteGloriaJ @CoryMillsFL @RepSwalwell .@CoryMillsFL you are scumbag and embarrassment to real patriot's like me who gave 20 years and 28 days during war and peace! – “@BadBradRSR @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell I spent nearly 7 years in Iraq, 3 yrs Afghanistan, Kosovo, etc. I've been involved in 2x IED/EFP and a Bronze Star recipient. I helped conduct the first successful overland rescue of Americans out of Afghanistan after Biden left then to die. Tell me “real patriot” about your time Link to reply@CoryMillsFL @BadBradRSR @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell Pardon me, with all due respect, who ordered you in to help get Americans out, the pope? Biden gave those orders. You followed policy. You should ask instead why your former CINC pulled so many of your people out that order could not be maintained in their pull out. @SteveRDaugh @BadBradRSR @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell No one had to order me to save Americans. It's what you do when they are abandoned by a failed strategy and derelict administration Link to reply@CoryMillsFL @BadBradRSR @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell The failed strategy was Trump yanking all the troops and then negotiating ONLY with the Taliban, not the govt we were wanting to remain in place. I remember the Biden Administration ORDERING evacuation after evacuation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of people. @SteveRDaugh @BadBradRSR @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell He ordered evacuation but took over HKIA, only commercial airport in Kabul, which grounded all commercial flights. He should have kept Bagram allowing two runways and stopping Bagram Detention Center from being released that resulted in Abbey Gate attack and 13 heroes killed. Link to reply@CoryMillsFL @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell Really Cory? Then as a highly decorated career Navy veteran as I am too during two wars, you are a bigger scumbag for what you did! I am sure your wife is really happy about what you said about Paul Pelosi! Good try Hatriot... (Link to twitter.com) @BadBradRSR @VoteGloriaJ @RepSwalwell Thank you for your service. How long did you spend in Iraq and Afghanistan? What was your MOS? @BadBradRSR That's what I thought. Keyboard courage is what you have and trolling. Good luck.”

Yemen

Gaetz (R-FL-1) 01/08/2023: Retweet of @lhfang – “Matt Gaetz refusing corporate PAC money - rare for GOP - appears to allow more freedom for maverick positions. He bucks the establishment on unique votes like joining Bernie to end the war in Yemen and this leadership fight. Even if you completely disagree w him, seems notable.”

Even if you completely disagree w him, seems notable. – “@lhfang I refuse all pacs - that means corporate pacs, leadership pacs and ideological pacs. I refuse all federal lobbyist donations. I believe no other Republican in congress has such a policy. I work for the people and the people alone.”

Jewish, Anti-semitism

Cohen (D-TN-9) 01/08/2023: Tweet – “Why Did George Santos Lie About Being Jewish? Opinion | George Santos and Being ‘Jew-ish' Among Jews I SUGGESTED ( FACETIOUSLY)TO A REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUE THAT WE ADJOURN ON FRIDAY FOR SABBATH AND THAT SANTOS COULD OFFER SUCH. HE SAID SANTOS WAS ONLY SABBATH-ISH.”

Meng (D-NY-6) 01/08/2023: Tweet – “Stories like these are heartbreaking and all too common. I'm standing in solidarity with the Jewish community and am committed to the urgent fight against antisemitism. A family finds swastikas in the lawn as antisemitism surges... | washingtonpost.com”

Moulton (D-MA-6) 01/09/2023: Tweet – “Hatred and antisemitism have no place in our community. We must stand arm-in-arm with our neighbors to speak up and condemn this disgusting bigotry. I applaud the work of @SwampscottPD to get to the bottom of this so we can hold the perpetrator accountable. Link to quoted tweetA swastika has been found spray painted on a Swampscott sidewalk, according to police who are investigating “this insidious form of hate.” (Swastika spray painted on Swampscott sidewalk: ‘Insidious form of hate'... | trib.al)”

Afghanistan

Malliotakis (R-NY-11) 01/08/2023: Tweet – “One good thing about being in majority is we now have subpoena power and the Biden Administration no longer gets a free pass to dodge accountability for the decisions that led up to the murder of 13 American Soldiers in Afghanistan on Aug. 26, 2021. Link to video”

Mills (R-FL-7) 01/08/2023: Tweet – “Congress needs a full investigation into the Biden administration's failed Afghan withdrawal. The abandonment of Americans, $80B in arms left to terrorist groups, and the 13 fallen heroes deserve answers and those responsible to be held accountable. Link to image”

Other - Middle East

Waltz (R-FL-6) 01/09/2023: Tweet – “Al Qaeda killed 3,000 Americans and we declared a war on terror. The cartels killed 100,000 Americans with poison. We need to pass an AUMF to target these cartels!”
