President Donald Trump is receiving some surprising praise from an elected Democrat.
However, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) is backing the president on something that Trump says he did not do.
Moskowitz said Trump made the right call by allowing Israel’s surprise attack against Iran to “go forward.”
Yet, Trump has denied any such involvement.
The White House has stressed Israel’s independence, and Trump has said he had no role in the strikes.
The strikes came despite Trump’s goal of negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran.
The latest round of talks was cancelled Sunday after Israel’s attack, which Trump had publicly opposed.
Moskowitz argued that Trump effectively co-signed the strikes by failing to stop Israel.
This is a sentiment that has also been shared by certain America First critics of Trump on the Right.
During an appearance on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” ,” Moskowitz said:
“I have vast disagreements, obviously, with President Trump, but, obviously, we had some knowledge that this was going to happen, probably could have stopped it, U.S. presidents have that ability.
“President Trump let it go forward, and he got it right.”
The strikes have opened up a divide on the Right between “America First”
