Coons: I Hope Trump Stops Tweeting About National Security Issues

‘He sent out an initial tweet about the three recent incidents around the world that mischaracterized the attack in Zurich’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COONS: "Well, I hope he’s going to take them more seriously. Frankly, the first thing I hope he does, is stop tweeting about evolving, critical national security issues. He sent out an initial tweet about the three recent incidents around the world that mischaracterized the attack in Zurich. I think he would be well advised to take a briefing first and to tweet little or not at all. And frankly, one of the challenges he’s going to face is he has directly gone against the united advice of all 17 of our intelligence agencies that have concluded that Russia did attack our electoral system. That’s going to create some real tension when he becomes president with the intelligence community that I hope he and his chose advisers will work to resolve."
