Republican furious Trump 'went off' about failures

Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) was furious during the Republican caucus lunch, Punch Bowl News reporters said on Tuesday.

Citing multiple sources in the closed-door meeting, Young is seething over the White House's and GOP leadership's failures over the war waged over the weekend against Iran.

He specifically "bemoned" the "lack of oversight or hearings" on the matter in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is chaired by Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho).

Warhawk Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) came to President Donald Trump's defense, arguing that this was a time that Republicans should be supporting their leader.

Punch Bowl's senior congressional reporter Andrew Desiderio said that Young left the meeting, reiterating that he's "inclined" to vote against the war powers resolution Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) proposed.

It's a shift from over the weekend when WFYI reported that Young said, “No one wants more conflict in the Middle East, but Iran can never have a nuclear weapon."

Trump announced last summer that he had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program in the strikes.

“The American people will have questions pertaining to the nature of threats, risks to our troops and homeland, and objectives sought," Todd added.
