House Minority Whip Katherine Clark Addresses Key Issues in Exclusive NBC10 Interview
In a recent interview with NBC10 Boston, Rep. Katherine Clark, the House minority whip and second-ranking Democrat, discussed pressing national and international issues affecting Massachusetts and beyond. Among the topics, Clark addressed the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, underscoring the U.S.’s position on the matter. "We want to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and ensure we don’t become engulfed in a regional war," she stated.
Her comments came just hours before President Trump abruptly left the G7 summit, warning of heightened tensions and declaring the U.S. has "complete and total control of the skies over Iran." Clark expressed concern over the unpredictability of the U.S. foreign policy direction, stating, "It’s very risky to not really be able to evaluate what the position of the United States is."
The conversation also touched on the recent tragedy in Minnesota, where gun violence claimed the lives of former Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, wounding Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Clark described the incident as "horrifying" and all too familiar. "While I worry about political violence, it ends up on the doorsteps of American families, and that’s what we have to keep our eye on," she said.
Beyond these urgent topics, Clark advocated for comprehensive immigration reform in Massachusetts, emphasizing the need to fix the broken system to alleviate issues surrounding undocumented immigration.
Viewers can catch an extended interview with Rep. Clark this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. during NBC10 Boston Weekend Today, where she will delve further into these critical issues affecting the nation.
