Roger Marshall, who boasted last year about the success of U.S. airstrikes on Iran .A MAGA senator who bragged last June that Donald Trump’s airstrikes had set Iran ’s nuclear program back by years was forced to eat his words live on CNN to keep up with the latest messaging from the White House.

Roger Marshall of Kansas with comments he made last year about the success of airstrikes the president ordered on the Islamic regime’s key nuclear sites.so far, Collins said to Marshall, “As you look at that, I think some people ask, why is this happening?
