Rep. Connolly on Trump Winning: ‘I’ve Never Seen the Europeans as Anxious at American Politics as Right Now’

EXCERPT:

CONNOLLY: "They should be, and they are. I have been very involved in NATO, in the Parliamentary Assembly, the legislative arm of NATO, for the last decade plus, and I can tell you I have never seen Europeans as anxious about American politics as they are right now. Everything is at stake. And as you indicated in your opening, NATO, ironically, has worked. It has kept the peace for most of 80 years. It is the one thing Putin respects. He will not cross the NATO border because of Article 5 that says an attack on one is an attack on all of us, and we mean it. And he has respected that. He has respected nothing else in this war but that. So to actually call into question the viability and the utility and the efficacy of NATO when it’s working and we’ve got a war going on is really reckless. I don't think any European is going to turn Tom Cotton for advice as we go forward."
