Iran War Could Sink Republicans, No Matter How Loudly Levin Denies It US radio and TV host Mark Levin insisted on his podcast on November 2 that if the Republican Party loses the midterms, it won't be because of the Iran war, which he passionately supported. He referred to what he called Iran's "nuclear obsession" that "had to stop," despite Iran issuing a fatwa banning nuclear weapons and publicly giving up its pursuit of nuclear weapons in 2003. Since then, there has been no evidence of secret efforts to develop a nuclear bomb. Levin insisted that most Americans were unaffected by the Iran war, while the opposite was true: gasoline and diesel prices soared, inflation rose and household budgets came under pressure. The University of Michigan polls show that US consumer sentiment is near its lowest point in the poll's 74-year history. Levin played the internal Israel card, saying that people who "want to destroy" the American economy and the constitutional system of the countries are coming out in droves because they see an opportunity to hijack the midterm elections. In his series of tweets on November 3, Levin called those people "Islamists", "Marxists" and "Communists". "It's not my fault, it's not your fault, it's not the president's fault — they see an opportunity," Levin said. "It's not because of the Iran war. That's because more of them voted than us.
