Former Democrat strategist Dan Turrentine shared Wednesday on Fox News the reason why members of his party are “very quiet” about Iran.

Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes on Iran, targeting critical areas and eliminating top figures in Iran’s military leadership, along with several nuclear scientists. During an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Turrentine shed light on the silence within his party.

“Our party is almost as divided to some extent as the Republican Party is right now. And I think they’d rather, unfortunately, be talking about kings than talking about Iran right now,” Turrentine told host Jesse Watters.

Turrentine referred to the “No Kings” protests that took place Saturday. In Washington, D.C., the military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, was met with over 1,800 protests under the “No Kings” banner, opposing Trump’s policies on deportations and government cuts while challenging the celebration of America’s history.

Turrentine said the Democratic Party remains split on foreign policy. He cited two historical moments that define the party’s modern internal conflicts, the 2004 presidential primaries and former President Barack Obama’s campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
