Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said on Wednesday she walked out of a House Armed Services briefing on Iran and then warned against the U.S. sending troops into Iran.

Mace posted a string of comments on social media, beginning with, “Just walked out of a House Armed Services briefing on Iran. Let me repeat: I will not support troops on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing.”

The South Carolina Republican later added, “Washington’s war machine is hard at work. They are try [sic] to drag us into Iran to make it another Iraq. We can’t let them.” She later added:

I will not support sending South Carolina’s sons and daughters to war in Iran. I won’t do it.

President Trump has been enormously successful so far.

But we cannot allow the Washington War Machine to turn Iran into another Iraq.”
