On WJR, Haley Stevens Rips Trump's Iran War: "We’re paying the price as Michiganders"
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In an interview with WJR's Kevin Dietz, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens blasted President Donald Trump's handling of the war with Iran, accusing the administration of dragging the United States into another Middle East conflict without congressional approval, without briefing lawmakers, and without a clear strategy.
Listen to what Michiganders are hearing about Rep. Haley Stevens’ thoughts on the Iran war:
This administration has got to be a lot more transparent. For goodness sakes, they start this war, they do it without the approval of Congress. They didn't even brief us. We're still not getting access to the information we need, and it doesn't seem to be a plan.
Oh mission accomplished. Oh, we've got a ceasefire with Iran. Oops, 3 days later now we don't, you know, we're losing troops, which is so tragic.
We're paying for this war as Michiganders, you know, as costs continue to go up. As, you know, the Trump administration is…giving the billionaires a tax cut, but slashing healthcare and food assistance for us, you know, a $70 billion slush fund to ICE. You know, are we safer?
So I want to know what the plan is. I want to, I want this war to end. I have been voting every single time to get us to that place.
Stevens has continuously called out Trump’s illegal war and its impact on Michigan families. She proudly supported the Iran War Powers Resolution, calling on Donald Trump to end his illegal attacks, and has repeatedly voted to curtail his reach. Rep. Stevens has remained focused on the affordability crisis the Iran war is causing for Michigan families, fighting to install real-time gas price trackers in Congress. She’s also pushed for relief for Michiganders from Trump’s tariffs, introducing the No Tariffs on Groceries Act to lower costs. In the face of Trump’s abuses of power, Rep. Stevens is fighting for Michigan families, putting their priorities at the top of Washington’s agenda.
