NEW VOTE ALERT: Jon Husted Votes For The Thirteenth Time To Support Iran War

ASSOCIATED PRESS: Americans' confidence in US economy falls as Iran conflict sends gas prices higher

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Jon Husted has officially voted thirteen times to support the expensive and unnecessary war in Iran that has sent energy and food prices soaring for Ohioans.

Husted's thirteenth vote comes as Americans' confidence in the economy fell to new lows and gas prices in Ohio surged again. While Husted claims he wants the "war to end" and for "gas prices to come down," he keeps voting to make everything more expensive.

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

"Jon Husted claims that he wants the Iran war to end, but just voted for the thirteenth time to support the endless conflict in the Middle East. Gas prices are surging again thanks to the Husted-backed war in Iran, and Ohio families are once again being forced to pay the price."

While Husted keeps voting to make everything more expensive, he also can't help himself from insulting hardworking Ohioans struggling because of his votes:

  • When asked recently if he was okay with not knowing how long the war will last or how much taxpayer dollars will be spent, Husted replied, "it's not really up to us."
  • When a truck driver asked about soaring diesel costs, Husted brushed him off and responded by asking if he was comfortable with Iran being a nuclear power.
