Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna has responded to President Donald Trump's harsh criticisms of him, after the President called the lawmaker a "lightweight" and a "total dope." Trump made the remarks during a speech at the White House on October 30, and again at a campaign rally in Florida on the same day. Trump claimed that Khanna was criticizing the cost of the war with Iran, and suggested that the President had "spent a lot of money" to eliminate a nuclear weapon.
However, Khanna pointed out that the $47 billion figure was the estimated cost of the war, and argued that the money should be spent on jobs and childcare for Americans instead. Trump also called Khanna a "radical left loser" over his calls for impeachment. Khanna responded on X, criticizing Trump for failing in Iran and raising gas and food prices.
Khanna, who represents California's 17th Congressional District in Silicon Valley, is a prominent Indian American member of Congress and a frequent critic of the administration's foreign policy. Americans will vote in the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3.
