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.”
