A Republican lawmaker running to represent Iowa in the Senate has changed her mind about the Iran war, and the result is nonstop social media ridicule.
But while the ability to change one’s mind when presented with new evidence is considered a sign of intelligence or an open mind, in Hinson’s case, it may have been a political calculation.
And, yes, many people pointed out the political paradox.
Her opponent in the Senate race also chimed in, saying, “It’s easy to send a tweet, but when you had a chance to vote to end this war, you chose not to.”
Podcaster Tim Miller noted that Hinson won’t actually have to prove she really wants to end the war, since Congress has been recessed until after the November election.
Hinson isn’t the only Republican who has supposedly changed their support of the war.
