Vasquez’s Dangerous Double Standard on Iran

March 6, 2026

Democrat Gabe Vasquez proved you can acknowledge a threat and still vote to empower it.

Vasquez voted to limit the President’s ability to take military action against Iran, tying America’s hands against a hostile regime, while also voting to reaffirm that Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.

You can’t have it both ways.

If Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet, why would Vasquez vote to weaken America’s ability to confront it?

“Gabe Vasquez’s vote exposes a dangerous double standard. He admits that Iran is the leading sponsor of terrorism, yet still voted to tie President Trump’s hands and weaken America’s ability to defend itself. New Mexicans deserve leaders who will stand up and keep them safe against terrorist regimes, not politicians playing partisan games with national security.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
