Thomas Massie

President Donald Trump ripped four House Republicans who voted for a war powers resolution on Wednesday that would suspend the U.S. military action against Iran.

The four Republicans — Reps. Warren Davidson (Ohio), Tom Barrett (Mich.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Thomas Massie (Ky.) — are the latest to face the fury of Trump. The president attacked the GOP lawmakers in a scathing Truth Social post on Thursday morning.

Trump also suggested that the war powers resolution had no power over his decision to go to war against Iran.

“Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing. They know where the negotiations stand,” Trump wrote.

He added: “The Democrats are fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome. They would rather have our Country fail than give me another, of many, victories. The four Republicans, that’s a whole other story - They’re GRANDSTANDERS! They should be ashamed of themselves.”

Trump has a history of targeting Republicans who cross him — including Fitzpatrick and Massie. Last month, Massie lost his primary election to a challenger endorsed by the president.

The war powers resolution from the House would not immediately stop the war, but it would provide a symbolic — if not legal — step against further military action.

The resolution next goes to the Senate, where four Republican senators last month joined Democrats in advancing a similar measure to curtail the U.S. campaign against Iran. The Senate has yet to take a final vote to approve or reject its own war powers resolution.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Wednesday at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing that the Iranians would think that the administration’s “hands are going to be tied” if Congress approved a war powers resolution. He said they would think ”we won’t be able to do anything to them, so why make a deal?”
