A Republican lawmaker is facing widespread criticism after suggesting that Americans who disagree with President Donald Trump’s approach to his administration’s Iran-related military policy should leave the country.Rep.

Sheri Biggs (R-SC) made the remarks during a televised interview with Newsmax, where she defended Trump’s leadership and urged the public to trust his decisions regarding ongoing international tensions involving Iran, Israel, and regional military activity in the Middle East.Biggs argued that voters elected Trump because of his perceived strength and ability to manage complex national security issues.

She emphasized that Americans should support the president’s foreign policy direction and echoed a common political slogan that prioritizes national interests.

However, she escalated her comments by stating that individuals who do not support the country or its leadership should “get out,” a remark that quickly drew attention on social media platforms.

The comments sparked immediate backlash online, where journalists, commentators, and political observers criticized her statement as divisive and undemocratic.

Many users argued that disagreement with government policy is a fundamental aspect of democratic participation and does not justify calls for citizens to leave their own country.Critics also framed her remarks as an example of increasingly polarized rhetoric surrounding U.S.foreign policy and domestic political loyalty.

The controversy unfolded amid heightened geopolitical tensions involving Iran, which had reportedly suspended diplomatic discussions with the United States following military developments in the region.

The situation has intensified political debate in Washington, with lawmakers and commentators divided over the administration’s handling of the conflict and broader Middle East strategy.
