Newly elected NJ Democrat repeatedly dodges question on whether Iran is our adversary

What happened: New Jersey Democratic Rep.-elect Adam Hamawy repeatedly declined to say whether he views Iran as an adversary during a CNN interview, calling instead for diplomacy and an end to the war. Why it matters: StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein condemned his comments, saying officials who do not recognize Iran's regime as an enemy should have no role in foreign policy decisions. Key numbers: Hamawy accompanied Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman on a trip in 1991.
