The Hill reports:
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) criticized the Biden administration for what he called a slow response to the attack on a U.S. base in Jordan that killed three American service members, as Capitol Hill reacted Friday night to the first set of retaliatory U.S. strikes on Iranian-linked militia groups in the Middle East.
“The tragic deaths of three U.S. troops in Jordan, perpetrated by Iran-backed militias, demanded a clear and forceful response. Unfortunately, the administration waited for a week and telegraphed to the world, including to Iran, the nature of our response,” Johnson said in a statement.
The strikes are the first in what U.S. officials have described as a tiered response to Iranian-backed militias. The end-of-week strikes also came after U.S. officials told some news outlets this week that weather was one factor in the timing of the strikes.

Sometimes you are allowed to be an American first, Mike. This is one of those times. But you don’t have it anywhere in any speck of your DNA to do that. You are a Trump sycophant using dead soldiers, whose families specifically asked you not to, for partisan politics.

This is what President Biden did today. He spent hours with these grieving families, something your boy Trump never did.
What you just did was not just un-American, it was anti-America. https://t.co/IBW6ZNH25d— David Badash (@davidbadash) February 3, 2024
You are despicable. Didn’t even wait for our aircrews to land before issuing this pathetic crap. You are going to be forgotten by history as the loser small town nut job lawyer who accomplished nothing in his short time as Speaker at the head of the most useless Congress ever.

This little man never served a day. Has no clue about military strategy. But that’s still not an excuse to attack your own country. Instead, express your gratitude to the US military for their service and move on to your extremist shenanigans.
You are an embarrassment.
