Lawmaker's answer on 'boots on the ground' in Iran earns him rolled eyes on MS NOW

An answer by a California conservative, scrambling to keep his job in the House, was on the receiving end of rolled eyes on MS NOW on Saturday morning after he repeatedly ducked a question about US military potentially being deployed to Iran if Donald Trump’s war drags on.Appearing on “The Weekend," Rep. Kevin Kiley, who switched his affiliation from Republican to independent after redistricting put his job at risk, was asked by co-host Jackie Alemany, “A quick yes or no question, do you support boots on the ground in order to accomplish regime change?” “Obviously, we don't want to see that,’ Kiley demurred. “I don't think regime change is within the scope of the mission as it's been defined. I think there is a hope that if this can lead eventually to a free, a future of freedom and prosperity and human rights for the people of Iran, that would be a very good thing. But that is not the objective that the engagement is seeking to directly bring about.”“Yes or no on boots on the ground, sir,” a terse Eugene Daniels quickly fired back.“Well, obviously we don't want to see that,” Kiley parried as MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart looked on skeptically and Daniels rolled his eyes. “I mean, I think that, you know, when you're talking about a military engagement and active military operation, the commander in chief is never going to be categorically drawing lines” Kiley persisted. “But that sort of level of engagement would obviously be very different from the scope of the operation as it's been defined to date,” he added as all three hosts looked on stone-faced and then Daniels broke into a big smile. - YouTube youtu.be
