CA Congressman Ted Lieu Eloquently Blasts Trump over His Plan to Pardon War Criminals

Trump is making life more difficult and dangerous for active service members. He’s making the world a worse place for innocent civilians and our own soldiers in order to make a ham-handed political point and goose his gormless throng of cultists.

Lieu: You’ve never served. Military juries will convict members for war crimes based not just on morality. We who’ve served know that killing civilian children, women & seniors makes it harder to secure the peace & is a great recruiting tool for terrorists.

“Trump was systematically attacking the institutions of our democracy. He was going after the First Amendment and the free press, going after the legitimacy of the judiciary, suppressing internal dissent and then lying at a rate I’ve never seen a human being lie, taking us down the road to authoritarianism, and I decided I’m just going to not normalize what should not be normalized.”
