Boebert on $200B Iran war funding request: ‘I’m not doing that’
Representative Lauren Boebert rejects the $200 billion Pentagon request citing fiscal concerns amid growing congressional opposition to extended Iran conflict funding.
- After reports surfaced Wednesday, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado strongly opposed the Pentagon's $200 billion funding request.
- The Department of Defense asked the White House to approve and send the request to Congress, which has not authorized the war and shows unease after $150 billion was added last year.
- Boebert, who has campaigned on fiscal restraint, said 'I will not vote for a war supplemental,' opposing the $200 billion request as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized ammunition and readiness stocks.
- Most Democrats are likely to reject the request while some Republicans support more spending, and conservative fiscal hawks oppose it as the national debt surpasses $39 trillion.
- Observers warned such a request suggests a longer war; the Pentagon frames the funds as necessary for future readiness, with President Donald Trump calling it 'a small price to pay' in the Oval Office.
