Husted: Iran war is 'good news for the global economy'

COLUMBUS, OHIO - This week, Jon Husted voted for the fifth time to support the Administration's war in Iran, continuing to back the expensive foreign intervention in the Middle East that has sent costs skyrocketing for Ohioans.

Because of the Husted-backed war, Ohioans are being hit by soaring gas prices, and farmers are getting crushed by rising diesel and fertilizer costs, which will raise the price of groceries. Despite all this, Husted thinks the war is "good news for the global economy" and going "much better than anyone thought it would."

Husted also continues to insult struggling Ohioans as "not very experienced at navigating the real world" and consistently dismisses the mounting affordability crisis by telling Ohioans to fix their "work ethic" and to simply "earn more" money to make ends meet.

Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:

"Jon Husted has now voted five times to support the endless war in the Middle East while hardworking Ohioans are getting crushed by skyrocketing costs. Instead of fighting to lower gas prices for families or fertilizer prices for farmers, Husted supports sending more money overseas while lecturing us to work harder."
