Mooney’s mother grew up there and escaped when she was 21. Mooney said Monday on MetroNews ‘Talkline’ President Obama’s decision to visit there is a bad idea.

“The single greatest threat to the national security of the United States is Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons. Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terror—a stronghold for terrorists whose very mission is to destroy democracy. said Rep. Mooney.
Congressman Alex X. Mooney spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to lend a voice to the people of Syria – many of whom have been silenced by a cruel and oppressive dictator. We need leadership from the President in the face of the grave human rights violations in Syria – not faux red lines and empty threats. That hasn't happened, and people are suffering because of it.
