Lawrence O’Donnell: Trump Admin Signaled to Assad ‘It Was OK’ to Gas ‘Babies’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell said Wednesday night that the Trump administration signaled last week "it was OK" with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons on "men, women, children, and babies."

The Assad regime reportedly used chemical weapons against its own people on Tuesday in Idlib Province in northern Syria, killing dozens of people, including children.

"Men, women, children, and babies got gassed in Syria this week because last week, the Trump administration gave the signal that that was OK with President Trump," O'Donnell said on his show "The Last Word."
