'If we abandon the Kurds, ISIS will come back and if there's an attack here or against our allies, President Trump owns it,' the Republican senator said.

on October 7, right after the White House announced that it would withdraw troops from northeastern Syria. The senator argued that Trump's decision was"a big win for Iran and [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad [and] a big win for ISIS."

Turkish forces quickly began targeting Kurdish fighters, and some ISIS fighters and hundreds of ISIS affiliates managed to escape in the ensuing chaos. Although Trump has sanctioned Turkish officials over the invasion and worked to broker a deal that would mitigate the fallout, lawmakers have repeatedly slammed the president's handling of the situation.

Lindsay Graham acts like an internet troll not like a respectable politician

How can this ASSLICKER be trusted? He's past his EXPIRY date just like his buddy Moscow Mitch!

LeningradLindsey trying to cover his Putin kissing patootie.

How long will the GOP pretend INDIVIDUAL1 is able? He does not even know the name of his Defense Secretary! (he later deleted the post and replaced it, but ...)

Lindsey is getting dumb and dumber !!

Leningrad Lindsay is going down with Treasonous Trump.

Shame you can't be trusted Can any publication survive the scandal of printing LIES DESIGNED TO PROTECT alQaeda & the perpetrators of 9/11? I doubt it

Sycophant. Unbelievable

Reference Rubio’s tweet

Whatever those blackmail tapes the Russians have on him, I wish they would come out, so everlasting sick of him, vote him out and he can go back to his needlepoint.

Talking out of both sides of his mouth.😂

See how that works, young fellers? Older people can criticize each other without it requiring a general hatred. That's the way it used to be.

The old misdirection play

DO YOU AND ALL THE REPUBLICAN SNAKE'S DO YOUR JOB AND STAND-UP FOR THE PRESIDENT AS DO ALL DALLAS TEXAS TRUMP VOTERS OR PAY THE PRICE! AT THE POLLS

If Congress doesn't like the President of the United States decision, don't cry about it, vote to declare war, to stay on that region then. That way you folks will be responsible for every death that happens.

Lindsey will regret his choices one day, from any support he gave Trump.

Make up your mind . 😡

Lindsey is a PAB.

He’s an american tragedy .

Who is this guy who has mixed mind ?

You mean to write *soon-to-be-former-Senator Lindsey Graham...

Remove the warmongers and the impeachers so we can get back to the business of the American people, the the business of the two major political parties.

Lindsey is only concerned about his job.

Republicans turned America into a joke.

If the potus is bad in one line of behavior it affects all his actions. The SC senator, LindseyGrahamSC, is effectively toothless, a coward before a coward.

Lindsey and the other republican senate need to wake up. Trump is becoming ever more unstable and as impeachment and bad reelection news increases, he will be come more so. It will be too late to reign him in if he launches nukes.

Stop reporting on this Russian asset! LindseyGrahamSC

Major ASSLICKER doing his weekly bit!

'This guy is making horrible decisions.......but we've got to keep him in office.' Way to put country before party there Leningrad Lindsey. ComplicitGOP

He has proven his party is more important than his oath to the Constitution VoteThemAllOut

Trump Train 2020!!

He’s a hot mess, let’s face it.

Trump Says Syria Situation ‘Not Our Problem’In a contentious meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, President Trump reportedly claimed the rapidly escalating conflict between Turkey and Syria’s Kurds was “not our problem,” despite most experts concluding it was propelled by his sudden pullback of U.S. troops from the region. What do you think? Look if the Kurds want to be assisted by the Trump administration, they should try to be a little more aligned with the regional goals of Putin That said, Trump perfectly encapsulates the Straight White Male manifesto in that one remark. I thought you were a parody news site, you have no business posting real fakenews

Trump parrots talking points from Putin, Erdogan on SyriaIn defending the recent withdrawal of US troops from northern Syria, President Donald Trump has continued to cite reasons that are not only factually dubious but which also mirror talking points issued by Turkey and Russia, contradicting US officials and the facts on the ground. MittRomney is the only Republican this does not apply to Right before our eyes, shame was crippled and society went bind. wisdom was ignored and ignorance justified. Right before our eyes, fiction is the norm and truth became wrong. Self-interest conquered and patriots resigned. Right before our eye a ritual of corruption is born That's how Trump lives every day: in a reality of his own.
