Jim Himes: ‘I’m Pleased To See’ Trump Has Changed His Position on Assad

RUSH EXCERPT:
BLITZER: "I would like to go through all the headlines starting with the horrific chemical attack carried out against Syrian civilians. We've seen all the pictures. His attitude towards the bashar Al Assad regime has changed very much as a result of seeing these pictures, yet at the same time the president believes Syrian refugees should be barred from entering the United States indefinitely. Now that these atrocities are taking place and the whole world is watching, do you believe the president can or will reconsider his position on Syrian refugees?"
HIMES: "Well, I'm not sure about his position on Syrian refugees. I'm tell you that I'm pleased to see the president come away from the position that he was adopting meardays ago when he was making the point that Assad is a fact on the ground sort of validating Assad's presence and 24 hours later we get this horrific act by his own people by the way using weapons that we thought had been negotiated out of the country with the help of run, so I'm glad to seat president evolving on this issue, and I hope he comes to see that if he's really serious about working with all of the parties in the region, which is how this has to happen, that saying that we're not going to take Syrian refugees is a huge step in the wrong direction, bolt with respect to appears constructive but also with respect to -- to making it clear to the Islamic terrorists in the region, ISIS in particular, that we are not -- we're not, you know, off on some anti-muslim crusade here."
