Schumer's remarks came shortly after Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper confirmed that the U.S. is withdrawing of nearly all of its troops"as safely and quickly as possible" from the region amid Turkey's military advances against the Kurds during an appearance on CBS'Trump has defended the move as one that would protect the U.S. from"endless wars" in the region.
GOP congressman Adam Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran and one of the most vocal critics among the Republican Party of Trump's move, condemned the president's justification in an appearance on CBS'."You hear the president and people like Rand Paul talk about endless wars all the time, and it's kitschy. But actually, we were preventing an endless war," the lawmaker said.
Kinzinger added:"The Kurds found out on Twitter, for goodness' sake... We have left them to the wolves. And the message this is sending to our allies around the world, I think, is really going to be bad.":"Recent decisions by the administration regarding Syria are a strategic error and further diminish the character of our great nation."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer answers questions on the potential of impeachment proceedings against U.S. President Donald Trump on September 24, 2019 in Washington, DC. Schumer on Sunday announced that Democrats will offer a resolution urging Trump to"undo" his move to pull troops from northern Syria as the president continues to face fierce bipartisan backlash over the decision.
Why do democrats hate our cops but want to police the world
Get a grip snowflakes! He made the right decision. 🤦♀️ LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Nice try but a bit too later 😡
Kinda late to shut that barn door
So, the “anti-war” left would rather keep our 50 troops, who are unauthorized for combat, in harms way? They going to vote to authorize war too?
LockHimUp - we are done “asking” for him to do his job...hes had his chance
Then we can undo all of the death because of Trump.
How do you “undo” the atrocities? realDonaldTrump is an idiot!! Wonder what Turkey provided him with? Or perhaps he withdrew our troops as a favor to the Russians (Putin)... that’s more than likely... get a transcript of his phone calls... ALL OF THEM!!!
Democrats pushing for war as usual. Get our troops out of Syria
Only this Prez is capable of recieving this much bipartisan criticism Impeachment
It's too late. The damage is done. Russia won, the US lost big time, thanks to Trump Towers Istanbul.
