McConnell warns Trump most of Senate opposes Syria troop withdrawal

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell became the highest ranking Republican to criticize President Trump’s decision to remove U.S. forces from a multinational coalition fighting terrorism in Syria.

McConnell, of Kentucky, went one step further than simply expressing opposition to the move. He reminded Trump that a supermajority of lawmakers — more than two-thirds of the full Senate, voted in January to express support for “continued military presence in northeastern Syria.”

And he compared the move to the Obama administration’s inaction in Syria.

Trump on Monday defended the decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria, where there is fear now that Turkey will launch an invasion against the Kurds, who the United States had been supporting.

Per the third paragraph just shut the fuck up McConnell. Obama asked for approval from Congress. You Republican asswipes were afraid to give him anything that looked like a victory.
