If Sixth District Republican Congressman Ben Cline had ended this statement after the first two paragraphs, it would have been an honorable tribute to the victims of this despicable attack.
Unfortunately, and all too typically, he didn’t stop there.
He had to try and find some way of blaming it on President Biden. Can you imagine him blaming Donald Trump in similar circumstances?
In fact you don’t have to imagine it. He didn’t.
In January 2020, Iran launched a ballistic missile attack on bases in Iraq that housed U.S. troops. Thirty-four service members suffered concussions or traumatic brain injuries. Then-President Trump dismissed those injuries as “headaches.” The U.S. did not retaliate.
Ben Cline said not a word.
