Mike Turner accuses the Biden administration of not taking the Iranian attacks seriously

Representative. Mike Turner (R-OH) implied that Pres Joe Biden don’t count Iranian missiles against Israel because they are not reaching their intended targets.

It’s been more than a year since Hamas attacked Israel, and the nation now finds itself fighting Iran at the same time. Biden has toed the line between helping Israel and trying to keep the peace. Eventually, Biden called for a ceasefire. Turner appeared on Fox News Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo to disagree with the administration’s position.

“Over several hundred missiles that Iran launched against Israel, and the Biden administration tried to act like, well, since they — like they didn’t hit their intended targets, it’s like they didn’t – they happened then trying to hold back. Israel’s response,” Turner said. “Some of the other problems with The Biden administration is that they continued to view this as a regional conflict rather than Iran’s continued efforts to continue attacking Israel to challenge its right to exist with its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas, and now Iran’s direct attacks upon Israel itself.”

According to Turner, Israel is “rightly defending itself.” He also reiterated his belief that these conflicts would not have started under a second consecutive Trump administration. The congressman predicted that if Trump wins in November, there will be “real and significant consequences” that would end the conflicts.

Both Trump and Kamala Harris met with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this summer. However, when Netanyahu appeared before Congress in July, many senators and congressmen opted to skip the speech in protest. Harris was not present at the speech, but met with Netanyahu afterward.
