Abby Phillip Claims the W.H. Is ‘Making Light’ of Sending Our Military to War

TRANSCRIPT:

PHILLIP: "It‘s interesting because, I mean, I actually wonder if maybe that might have the opposite effect, because if you are — if you are a young person and you‘re worried about being dragged into war, the White House essentially making light of it is not necessarily reassuring. And then President Trump, he gave an interview with TIME Magazine, and he was asked about what are the risks of, you know, the United States being retaliated against. And he says, 'It‘s a possibility, I guess,' he says, 'but I think that they‘re worried about that all the time.' He essentially was downplaying it. He says, 'We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.'"
