Rep. Andy Barr was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about his bid for the US Senate in Kentucky. The seat will be open with the retirement of long-time Senator Mitch McConnell.
Rep. Barr also talked about DHS and criticized the radical left for wanting to defund them.
“We’ve done our job in the House. We’ve fully funded the Department of Homeland Security, including TSA, including ICE, including Border Patrol,” Barr said.
“We were not going to allow the radical left to defund ICE and defund Border Patrol right in the middle of a conflict in the Middle East. This is a dangerous time, and we need full Homeland Security,” Barr continued.
“You said you would support whatever the President decides,” Bream commented on Iran.
“This President has the commander-in-chief power to keep the American people safe. I’m grateful for this President diminishing the military capabilities and the nuclear capabilities of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” Barr said.
Rep Barr explained that President Trump is going after the Iranian regime in response to their violence and murder against thousands of Americans.
“This President is not starting a war. This President is ending a 47-year war where thousands of Americans have lost their lives to this murderous regime,” Barr continued.
“11,000 targets have been successfully taken out in Iran. This is not going to be an occupation of Tehran,” Barr said.
“How would you be like the man you hope to replace, Senator McConnell? How would you be different?” Bream asked.
“I’m the only candidate in this race who is actually working with this President to pass his agenda,” Barr said.
“I’ve been with him all the way on delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. With him all the way on restoring American energy dominance. With him all the way on rebuilding our military and eliminating the terrorist threat from Iran. And with him all the way on securing the border and tripling funding for immigration enforcement and deporting dangerous illegal criminal aliens,” Barr continued.
