GOP senators ‘don’t make eye contact’ over Iran war, says Elizabeth Warren

  • Senator Elizabeth Warren stated on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that her Republican colleagues avoid eye contact due to embarrassment over the President's Iran conflict.
  • Warren criticised the lack of a clear strategy, justification, or exit plan for the conflict, questioning how it benefits any American.
  • She asserted that the conflict is unconstitutional, as only Congress holds the power to declare war, and noted her unanswered letter to the Defense Secretary.
  • Warren warned that the conflict's ultimate cost would include human lives, financial expense, and damage to the US's global standing.
  • She also expressed concern about the President's nominee for the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, suggesting he was a 'sock puppet' intended to manipulate interest rates for political gain.
