A North Carolina Republican who cheered President Donald Trump’s war on Iran when it began is now calling it ā€œterrible policyā€ and blaming it for the GOP’s midterm drubbing.

Rep. Pat Harrigan of North Carolina unloaded on the conflict Wednesday morning during an appearance on Real America’s Voice’s American Sunrise, a week after he barely held on to his own seat.

Harrigan argued the war wiped out the benefit of this year’s record tax refunds for middle-class families.

ā€œUnfortunately, when April 15th came around and tax returns were the largest in the history of our country, we forced that money, to the American middle class, straight into their gas tanks,ā€ he said, per Mediaite.
