Josh Riley’s Dangerous Double Standard on Iran

Democrat Josh Riley proved you can acknowledge a threat and still vote to empower it.

Riley 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 Riley vote to weaken America’s ability to confront it?

“Josh Riley’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 Yorkers deserve leaders who will stand up and keep them safe against terrorist regimes, not politicians playing partisan games with national security.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
