Graham on if He Can Support Trump’s Syria Withdrawal: ‘Absolutely Not’

‘President’s right about ISIS fighters’

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: “If I didn’t see Donald Trump’s name on the tweet I thought it would be Obama’s rationale for getting out of Iraq. Here is what is going to happen. This is going to lead to ISIS reemergence. Nothing's better for ISIS than to create a conflict between the Kurds and Turkey. The Kurds will align with Assad because they have nobody to count on because we abandoned them. So this is a big win for Iran and Assad, a big win for ISIS. I will do everything I can to sanction Turkey if they step one foot in northeastern Syria. That will sever my relationship with Turkey. I think most of the Congress feels that way. I will do a resolution urging the president to reconsider this decision. President’s right about ISIS fighters. Europe needs to do more but you know, he is the president of the United States and it requires leadership. When President Trump -- excuse me, Obama was told what would happen in Iraq, it did. And I’m here to say this is going to lead to the reemergence of ISIS and the biggest winner in all of this will be the Iranians and that’s too bad."
