“I think it’s incredibly dangerous,” Representative Seth Moulton warned.
Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Representative Seth Moulton slammed President Donald Trump and National Security Adviser John Bolton on Sunday, accusing them of being draft dodgers and “chickenhawks” pushing the United States to war with Iran.
“I think it’s incredibly dangerous,” Moulton warned. “The parallels between how the Bush administration pushed us into war with Iraq and the Trump administration, under a draft dodging commander-in-chief, is pushing us into war with Iran are uncanny,” he said. The veteran also compared the current situation in Iran with the events that led to the Vietnam war, pointing fingers at the actions of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Bolton.
“If you saw a definition of ‘chickenhawk’ in a dictionary, you'd see Donald Trump and John Bolton right next to each other,” the representative said. “And I think we all know who’s the chicken and who’s the hawk,” he added. Moulton also pointed out that Bolton, who served in the Bush administration, had firmly supported the invasion, suggesting that Trump was now being influenced heavily by his top adviser in regards to Iran.
