GOP Senator Begs for Gas Money After Championing Trump's War [View all]

A Republican senator who has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump’s war on Iran is begging donors for gas money as he faces a tough re-election campaign in November’s midterms.

Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska has repeatedly voted to allow Trump to continue attacking Iran without congressional approval, claiming Tehran has “been at war with us for almost half a century,” Alaska Public Media reported in March.

He also praised Trump for supposedly “making sure the Iranians don’t get nukes and don’t get ballistic missiles,” despite U.S. intelligence assessment findings that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon and was at least a decade away from achieving one even if it wanted to.

Now, with the war approaching its fourth month and gas prices soaring nationwide—particularly in Alaska—Sullivan is asking donors to chip in for gas money, Raw Story reported.

Those who have been around Trump say he has plenty of gas.
