A Republican senator who has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trumps war on Iran is begging donors for gas money as he faces a tough re-election campaign in Novembers midterms.
Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska has repeatedly voted to allow Trump to continue attacking Iran without congressional approval, claiming Tehran has been at war with us for almost half a century, Alaska Public Media reported in March.
He also praised Trump for supposedly making sure the Iranians dont get nukes and dont get ballistic missiles, despite U.S. intelligence assessment findings that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon and was at least a decade away from achieving one even if it wanted to.
Now, with the war approaching its fourth month and gas prices soaring nationwideparticularly in AlaskaSullivan is asking donors to chip in for gas money, Raw Story reported.

(4,758 posts)... is too stupid and too dishonest to realize that we wouldn't even be in this position with regard to Iran if we had told Britain to go pound sand when they asked for help in stealing Iran's oil reserves for themselves. We would have had a steadfast ally in Iran if we hadn't deposed President Mossaddegh and installed "Shah" Reza Palahvi. People should know what we did to deserve their enmity. And Trump is just intensifying that justified resentment with his malice and his lies. Even his buddy, Jeffrey Epstein, called him the worst person he'd ever met.
