President Donald Trump's order for airstrikes on Yemen Houthi targets is sending a strong message that goes far beyond them, former Rep. Pete King said on Newsmax Sunday.
"I fully support them; I endorse them," the New York Republican told Newsmax's "Wake Up America Weekend." "Basically, Russia is supplying the Houthis to take these shots at us … it's important that they be crushed at the start."
Trump is also sending a message to Iran as well as Russia, he said.
"It's important for the United States to let the world know that it's not going to tolerate any of these cheap attacks on us," he said, adding that because the attacks weren't carried out by Russia, China, or Iran directly, they were being let go.
