Mark Kelly of Arizona said on Sunday that the Trump administration is "flailing" in its war with Iran, while urging the president to use a different tack to find a way out five months after the conflict began.
"They're stuck, they're responsible for this, and the president is the one that has to try to figure out a way out of this," Kelly said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
Kelly added: "I would suggest to him, though, that the solution is not to do the same thing that he's been doing — not to have his real estate buddy and his son-in-law in charge of a negotiation."
"To put some people in here that know how to do this, how to talk to the Iranians, and put a coalition together, bring our allies back together," the Arizona Democrat said.
