Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) – a former Army soldier – appeared on “StandPoint with Gabe Groisman” and discussed the performance of President Joe Biden’s (D) foreign policy. The Florida congressman did not hold any words back in his analysis of the Commander-in-Chief’s strategies, specifically surrounding his approach to the Middle East.
Foreign policy isn’t hard: support our allies, project strength, and ensure Americans are protected at home and abroad.

“You have several former generals that have exited the military. You had the former Joint Chief of Staff [Mark] Milley, who just recently exited the military, and [General Kenneth] Mackenzie, the CENTCOM commander, and [he’s] been very clear now that he's out of uniform, that the Biden administration took Iran off the table as a target. And he literally used the words to describe that as giving aid and comfort to the enemy,” said Rep. Mast. “And if you take them off – maybe you don't want to go into Tehran. Maybe that's not your wish, or to drop ordnance on them. But if they are literally off the table as a target, then what deterrence exists at all for them? And these are the actions across the board, the dominoes they keep getting flipped over by this administration. And these are the things that all of the foreign intelligence agencies are seeing action after action after action. And ultimately, they know that whatever America does under this administration is going to be weak.”
Rep. Mast continued by comparing President Biden to former President Donald Trump’s (R) performance.
“Now you can juxtapose that to Donald Trump has a history. And if Donald Trump comes back in, you know the kind of dominoes that he flipped over, and they were dominoes of strength, that he's going to secure America's southern border, that he's going to identify if a nation doesn't have an ability to vet out terrorists, and he's not going to let them into the United States of America, that he's going to have the back of Israel whether it's recognizing the Golan Heights or moving the embassy or making sure the capital of Israel's recognized as Jerusalem and the embassy has actually moved there in recognition of that. Whether it's getting rid of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in the Iran nuclear deal and standing with our ally. Those are two different things that those foreign intelligence agencies assess.”
Brian Mast represents Florida’s 21st Congressional District.
