Dozens of Democrats have voted against a nonbinding resolution in the House that reaffirms Iran as the "largest state sponsor of terrorism."

The resolution, put forward by Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., passed by a 372-53 vote on Thursday, with all those voting no being Democrats. Two Democrats also voted present.

Among those who voted against the measure were all the members of the "Squad," such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

The resolution said the Islamic Republic of Iran "remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis."

It added that Iran "poses a direct and persistent threat to the United States and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American citizens," citing the Pentagon as saying that "Iranian-backed proxy militias are responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. service members in Iraq -- roughly one in every six American combat fatalities."

It also said, "according to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafeal Grossi, Iran has amassed a large stockpile of enriched uranium and continues to block access to undeclared sites in Iran affiliated with their ‘big, ambitious nuclear weapons program.’"

1.) Why is the House wasting time on non-binding anything?  The should be legislating binding laws to improve the US economy to better fight structural inflation.

2.) Really?  Islamic Jihad?  Hamas?  Hezbollah?  Houthis?  Nail this to all the 53 Dems during the midterm general elections.

To say Iran is not a state sponsor of terror is to be complicit with Hamas for October 7, 2023, and Hezbollah for the 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks bombing.

Dems are sick.

Try though I do...I can't figure out the political advantage for the vote of these 53.

I think the Rats in the House are trying to convince the Rats in the Senate to vote to halt the bombing.  Getting "only" 53 votes in the House didn't convince anybody.
