Old Tweets From Democrats Slamming Trump Resurface After Syria Airstrike
Old Tweets From Democrats Slamming Trump Resurface After Syria Airstrike | The Daily Caller26 Feb 2021 ~~ By Varun Hukeri
Past tweets from prominent Democrats including Vice President Kamala Harris and White House press secretary Jen Psaki that were critical of former President Donald Trumpās approval of airstrikes in Syria resurfaced after President Joe Biden ordered an airstrike late Thursday.
Harris, then a California senator, previously tweeted that she was ādeeply concerned about the legal rationaleā of an April 2018 airstrike approved by Trump that targeted three chemical weapons sites in Syria. Harris also said the former president needed to lay out a Syria strategy āin consultation with Congress.ā
Psaki previously questioned Trumpās ālegal authorityā to conduct airstrikes after the former president approved an operation in April 2017 targeting a Syrian air base.
āAssad is a brutal dictator. But Syria is a sovereign country,ā she tweeted.
A number of other prominent Democrats slammed the Trump administration for conducting airstrikes in Syria. Critics argued that such operations were unconstitutional and the former president required congressional authorization for military force.
Then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tweeted in April 2018 that airstrikes āwere no substitute for a coherent strategyā and Trump needed to ācome to Congressā and propose a ācomprehensive strategy.ā

Then-presidential candidate Biden called Trumpās actions in Syria āerraticā and āimpulsiveā during an Oct. 2019 campaign event and rebuked the former presidentās decision to withdraw troops from northern Syria. (RELATED: At Least 1 Dead And Several Injured In US Airstrike On Iraqi Militia Group)
Comment:
It would be funny if they had any sense of shame or hypocrisy, but, of course, they donāt The idea that if Trump orders something it is bad and Bidenās ordering of the exact same thing is good, doesnāt bother them at all.
Similarly, like the unescorted alien kids being held cages? Jen tells reporters āItās not the sameā but itās the same, in fact Biden made it worse. Instead of being in the large buildings where they could see others, they are now in windowless 20ā storage containers with lights and air conditioning. talk about being caged.......
