Trump’s attack places Missouri and Illinois Republicans in a tough spot

from St. Louis on the Air

Missouri and Illinois GOP members of Congress largely adopted the opposition to military intervention that President Donald Trump expressed during his presidential campaign. But now that he’s attacked Iran, Trump is placing some of those lawmakers in a tough spot – including Missouri Sens. Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt. Washington University political science professor Carly Wayne talks about the local political reaction to Trump’s decision on "The Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air.”
