Trump sanctions are crippling the Iranian regime: Rep. Lawler

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., joins 'The Falkner Focus' to discuss the economic pressures on Iran and the legal battle Catholic nuns are facing over New York's gender ideology mandates.

New York Times opinion writer Thomas Friedman has said out loud what so many Democrats appear to think but are reluctant to reveal: he seemingly so despises President Trump that he’d be okay with the U.S. losing the war with Iran.

Does Friedman think deposing Iran’s "terrible regime" for a government that cares about its people and will bring peace to the Middle East would be a good thing? Sure, but "the problem is I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are too awful human beings."

Friedman is, in other words, on the fence about rooting for the U.S. Maybe instead rooting for the fanatical mullahs who wantonly slaughter their own people, enrich and arm terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah that spread violence across the Middle East, push to acquire a nuclear weapon while routinely chanting "Death to America" and organize hit squads aiming to take out U.S. officials and politicians, including the President of the United States.

Those are the folks about whom Friedman is ambivalent, so deep is his loathing for the U.S. president. Imagine hating Donald Trump more than you love your country.

Friedman is not alone.........
