Republican Lawmaker Insisting Trump Admin is Raising Global Conflict 'In Order to Lower It' Baffles Users: 'War is Peace Now'![]() A Republican lawmaker is facing mockery online after insisting that the Trump administration is raising global conflict "in order to lower it" in defense of President Donald Trump's strikes on Iran. During an appearance on Fox Business Monday morning, North Carolina Rep. Pat Harrigan defended Trump's decision to order three strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday while also discouraging the country from attacking in retaliation. "We're trying to lower the temperature of global conflict while simultaneously kind of raising it here in order to lower it," he said. However, the lawmaker's reasoning baffled users, leading to backlash online as several people said his assertion "makes zero sense." War is peace now!! — Dj Omega Mvp (@DjOmegaMVP) June 23, 2025 "War is peace now!!" one user mocked. Another wrote, "Just a silly little game of chicken with WW3 guys nothing to worry about." One user created their own example to show why they thought Harrigan's statement was ironic: "It's going to be 102 degrees F with high humidity where I live today. I guess I'll turn the heat on to cool off."
