Six Months Later, Monica De La Cruz Continues to Praise Republicans’ Decision to Embark of Forever War with Iran

Gas prices are nearly $4 per gallon and De La Cruz continues to fund Trump’s reckless war of choice

Today marks six months since Donald Trump dragged the country into a war against Iran that has no end in sight, and is forcing Americans to pay record August gas prices at the pump. No wonder public support for the war just hit a new low this week.

REMINDER: On the day he started the war, Trump declared it was “already a success.” Then a few weeks later in April, he proclaimed the war was a “Total and complete victory. 100%.” Six months later, all Texans have seen is a string of broken promises.

It’s not just Trump who’s broken his promise to the American people, so has Monica De La Cruz. Even as costs skyrocket and Americans lose their lives, De La Cruz went out of her way to praise Trump’s actions in Iran.

House Republicans also promised lower costs on day one and no more new wars. Yet De La Cruz voted to support funding for Trump’s yet-to-end war in the Middle East that has caused gas prices to spike.

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
Texans oppose the war, are pissed about higher gas prices, and are ready to reject Monica De La Cruz in November because of her vote to fund the war. De La Cruz’s broken promises are going to cost her her job.”
