There are going to be a lot of Democratic reactions to the missile strikes by Iran on U.S. bases in Iraq.
We don’t know yet what the damage is yet or if there are any casualties.
But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is already setting a bad tone.
Here’s an example of what not to say when the country is under attack.
Closely monitoring the situation following bombings targeting U.S. troops in Iraq. We must ensure the safety of our servicemembers, including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence. America & world cannot afford war.

Apparently all the prior attacks and the attack on our embassy are nothing to Pelosi. But the response is “needless provocations.”
