CNN claiming Warren aligns with Trump on Syria pullout based on old video

they just posted without a date attached. The actual date shows up only on the link.

She is saying she supports pulling troops out of Syria and Afghanistan. That is a goal shared by most of congress.

No one but Trump would do it in such a rushed and disorderly fashion for maximum chaos that would leave our allies in a lurch.

Warren does NOT agree with or support Trump’s retreat from Northern Syria and abandonment of Kurds.

What’s CNNs game here? Corporate elites closing ranks?

On further thought....Could be a mistake as some have pointed out, and could be a GOP manipulation that removed the date. I think the latter is most likely.

the Democrats were rightfully outraged when Comey released a letter to the republicans in Congress, distorting that the email investigation was reopened, and then when trump fired Comey because of Comey revealing that Trump tried to influence investigation of Flynn and other issues, the illustrious tried to paint it as the Democrats were simply playing politics, against Comey in one case, and "supporting" Comey in another case.

It was a complete distortion of the facts.

They were two separate issues, and the Democrats were consistent in both, though much of the media tried to play it as the Democrats were being hypocritical.

It appears they are doing similar crap with this against Warren, and as the OP points out Warren never advocated a "shoot from the hip" pullout from Syria, and abandoned the Kurds

Much of the media's coverage is really pathetic
