House Minority Whip Eric Cantor released a statement Monday that calls on Mr. Obama to “take a strong public position in the face of violence and human rights abuses.” Cantor suggests the lack of a statement from the president cuts against America’s responsibility “to lead the world.”
John McCain: The United States should support the Iranian people “in their struggle against an oppressive, repressive regime.” He said Iran “should not be subjected to four more years of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the radical Muslim clerics.
