PATRICK SCHMIDT FOR KANSAS
GOP Senator Suggests Trump Should “Finish” Iran With Nuclear Bomb
The senator, Roger Marshall, said Trump has to “take everything into consideration” if ceasefire progress stalls.

It is grossly irresponsible for Senator Marshall to casually suggest the potential use of a nuclear attack. Statements like his only escalate the situation, and it makes us less safe here at home, and further endangers members of our military. In this day and age, some politicians think it is ok to make flippant comments. Let’s be clear: talk of using a nuclear weapon is not a strength. It is not leadership. It is dangerous. Kansas families deserve a Senator who understands the weight of war, and the consequences of reckless rhetoric. If elected U.S. Senator, I will stand strong to protect our country and military from such reckless comments and actions. #kspolitics
