Senator Mullin tells Newsmax that President Trump would not stand for an attack on US troops

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., criticized the Biden administration for its slow response to a drone attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan that resulted in the deaths of three American troops and dozens of injuries. He said former President Donald Trump would have reacted immediately.

Mullin made these comments on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” show on Tuesday.

The terrorist attack occurred at U.S. military base Tower 22 in northeastern Jordan, and Mullin expressed disappointment with the Biden administration’s policy of appeasement.

Mullin stated, “When you try appeasement through a terrorist organization, it doesn’t work. They only believe in power. It’s peace through strength, right? We have ignored them after 153 strikes. They finally escalated by hitting Tower 22, which is the border between Jordan and Syria, and killed three service members.

“We know where the drone was shot from, and we’ve known every time they were shot. You may not know where it’s going to go. But we know where it was shot from. We could respond immediately within five minutes if we had standing orders like President Trump did when he was in office. If they attack us personally, we will respond immediately.

“The problem is you have a weak administration that wants to ignore [this], and they’re more interested in working and appeasing the Iranian regime who is the number one sponsor the war on terror around the world right now, then they are actually being strong and putting them back in their box.”

Mullin also expressed concern about terrorists crossing the U.S. southern border at an alarming rate.

“We have a national security risk on our southern border with just since Oct. 7th since the Hamas attack in Israel. We’ve got 50 known terrorists crossing our southern border. That’s a national security risk. What’s happening around the Middle East is just compounding it. On top of that, these known terrorists are not coming from Mexico. They’re not coming from Central and South America countries.

“They’re coming from all over the Middle East. Iran is sponsoring these individuals coming in, and we know this is an escalating issue. They believe by coming after us and us not responding, it shows weakness and a downfall of the United States. Remember, that’s the number one goal, to cut off the snake’s head, and that is us in America.”
