Republicans are twisting themselves into rhetorical pretzels trying to back President Donald Trump’s Iran war—going so far as to invent their own definitions of what counts as “boots on the ground.”
The latest on-air scramble came from Florida Rep. Mike Haridopolos, who found himself boxed in during a C-SPAN Washington Journal appearance on Friday, when pressed by host Jasmine Wright on what exactly that phrase means as the conflict escalates. His comments came the same day the Trump administration confirmed it would be deploying thousands of additional troops to the region.
Haridopolos, 56, has remained a vocal supporter of the war effort, even though he has stated he doesn’t want “boots on the ground action.”
