Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said she will not support any supplemental funding bill to pay for the Iran war, no matter what the price tag is.
The Department of Defense is seeking $200 billion in supplemental funds to keep paying for the war on Iran, which President Donald Trump launched on Feb 28. The war is costing American taxpayers about $1 billion a day, to say nothing of skyrocketing gas prices.
On Thursday, CNN’s Manu Raju caught up with Boebert on Capitol Hill and asked about the additional funding the Trump administration is expected to seek from Congress.
“I will not vote for a war supplemental,” she said. “No. I am a no. I’ve already told leadership. I am a no on any war supplementals. I am so tired of spending money elsewhere. I am tired of the industrial-war complex getting all of our hard-earned tax dollars. I have folks in Colorado who can’t afford to live. We need America First policies right now, and that? I’m not doing that.”

For once, I approve of Boeberts comments--except for her 'America First policies" comment.
We won!
