After Election Day went against the Republican Party, platoons of pundits ridiculed President Donald Trump for going to war with Iran.
But in comments long overlooked, Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana said Trump set aside the question of who would stand tall after the elections in favor of determining who, if anyone, would stand at all when Iran was done destroying the Middle East.
Kennedy went on a podcast this summer with comedian Theo Von, and shed light on classified intelligence he had seen. The comments drew little notice until the Washington Times and other outlets noted them on Friday.
