House Majority Whip Tom Emmer appeared on ABC's This Week and praised Donald Trump as a dealmaker while blaming President Joe Biden for current policy problems. Emmer defended Trump’s use of force against Iran, saying Iran’s ballistic missiles can reach western Europe and therefore threaten the United States. During the interview Emmer labeled Democrats "communists" and repeated that $4 gasoline is "entirely unacceptable," with at least one post accusing him of misrepresenting gas-price trends. The segment prompted sharp criticism online accusing Emmer of flip-flopping on Ukraine, abandoning past positions, and parroting Trump talking points.
