ICYMI: Nashua Democrats Knock John Sununu for Backing Donald Trump’s War With Iran That’s Raising Costs on Granite Staters

Read key quotes from the press conference below:

Mayor Jim Donchess: “Sununu has not only justified the war by referencing its national security objectives, but he’s also claimed that the war has been effective at achieving them. In 2002, Sununu gave Bush permission to send our troops into a controversial and ill-informed conflict that turned into a strategic failure and took the lives of thousands of Americans, including 32 that the Union Leader reported had ties right here to New Hampshire, and certainly many, many Iraqis. This time around, instead of pushing back against another reckless excursion, Sununu has instead fallen in line — big surprise — with Donald Trump.”

Nashua Board of Public Works Commissioner Manny Espitia: “Here in New Hampshire, John Sununu has been in lockstep with those Republicans, and with Donald Trump. When asked about a war powers resolution to limit Trump’s ability to wage war, Sununu refused to support the bill. One time, Sununu even walked away without a single word when asked about it. If John Sununu’s not willing to take a stand on ending Trump’s costly and unpopular war, how could he possibly stand up to Trump on other issues that are important to Granite Staters?”
