Greg Casar Discusses Federal Arrests and Grassroots Politics Under Trump Administration

Published | Video Starts at 05:58

When there's President Trump, I'm not being a hypocrite by saying he cannot unilaterally go to war. We had a diplomatic deal, an agreement with Iran that kept us from going to war and kept Iran from having a nuclear weapon. We should pursue every path to diplomacy to prevent a nuclear weapon from existing in Iran, rather than risking sending our American women and men who signed up for the service to go risk their lives not just for one operation.

CLAIM
