Ben Rhodes calls for primaries against Democrats who support Iran war.
‘If you can't stand against that, you don't stand for a f***ing thing,’ the former Obama admin official said.
A former top Obama administration foreign policy official said on Wednesday that any Democratic lawmakers who vote to support U.S. strikes on Iran should be primaried.
“If you vote for the funding of this war, you should be primaried.
I don’t want you in the Democratic Party,” said Ben Rhodes, co-host of the “Pod Save the World” podcast and former deputy national security advisor under President Barack Obama.
I think there should be people with different ideas of how to get health care, different ideas of taxation,” Rhodes said to co-host Tommy Vietor.
Rhodes suggested that Democrats who cast a vote in support of the war are doing so because of donor pressure. »
