Trump lackey and apologist Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) rebuked dear leader in an interview with Axios on Tuesday night regarding the president's decision to pull troops out of Syria and allow Turkey to invade putting longtime Kurdish allies at risk.
Said Graham: “I think he's putting the nation at risk, and I think he's putting his presidency at risk. And I hope he will adjust his policies like he did before. That would actually be a sign of real leadership. … This is worse than when Obama left Iraq, because you've got so much information as to what happens. This would be a game changer to our national security. This would pave the way to the re-emergence of ISIS. … Nobody besides Trump believes the president's claim that the U.S. is not abandoning the Kurds.”
