On The Final 5 with Jim Lokay, Virginia Senate candidate Bert Mizusawa (R) defended President Trump’s actions against Iran, saying the U.S. had to prevent Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon, but says “it’s time to end it.” He also backed buying diesel from Russia, arguing it could help the U.S. economy and provide leverage to bring Russia and Ukraine back to negotiations. Mizusawa called for greater energy independence and said his military experience would help him represent Virginia’s interests.
