House Democrats on Tuesday blocked a vote on a resolution introduced by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California Republican, that expressed support of anti-government protesters in Iran and condemned Iran’s role in the downing of a Ukrainian civilian aircraft last week.
While details behind the blockage remain unclear, Democrats were reportedly drafting their own version of the resolution to compete with Mr. McCarthy’s resolution.
“What a disappointment — Democrats just blocked a vote on a resolution supporting the Iranian protesters,” the GOP leader tweeted.
“This is not the time for partisan politics. This should be a time for the U.S. Congress to speak with one voice to condemn an Iranian regime that kills its own people.”
As tensions between the U.S. and Iran came to a head amid a U.S. fatal strike on top Iranian general last week and Tehran’s response with an attack on two American bases in Iraq, Republicans and Democrats have been sparring over the administration’s justification for military action.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. The Socialist Dems blocked a vote against a measure to support anti-government protestors in Iran.
This blocking of the vote should be a huge wake-up call to all Americans. It is proof positive they not only want to destroy American’s freedom here, but not to help those who are struggling for freedom in Iran.
These Socialist Dems have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.
The Democrat Congress members are this country’s
most dangerous and dishonorable enemy.
The Enemy from within.
Its not suprising to me.. FOR YEARS we’ve known the dems SUPPORT IRAN..
We already know Pelosi and company are against us and for any country that fosters owning the country and its people. Liberty is not a word for democrat communists nor their supporters such as uber rich, Soros, etc. Another reason that they not be voted in this year to stop their desire to own our Republic of freedom and rights. They keep pushing and more and more citizens are cleaning their guns for the upcoming 2nd revolution and we will then no longer have democrats/communism/or any other type of governance once and for all. Our Founders with little had a great revolution and we can copy them because we are better informed and armed.
VOTE OUT ALL SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST FROM OFFICE AND SHIP THEM TO GITMO.
OR THE COUNTRY OF THERE CHOICE.
If they love Iran so much, STRIP THEM all of their US citzenship and exile them TO iran, permanently.
