‘Trump Doesn’t Care About Babies of Syria’: Rep. Ted Lieu Mocks WH Refugee Policy

On Wednesday, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-California) appeared on MSNBC to discuss the situation in Syria, and he did not mince words one bit on what he thinks of how President Donald Trump has couched his motivation for launching air strikes on a Syrian base. Not only that, Lieu went as far as to question his motives.

“If Donald Trump truly cares about the beautiful babies of Syria, he wouldn’t have banned them from entering the United States as refugees,” said Lieu. “We need to absolutely make sure that refugees, children, women, senior citizens fleeing Syria need to be able to come to the United States for safe haven. He also needs to come to the United States to seek authorization from Congress before he uses any more military force in Syria. That’s what the Constitution demands.”

Lieu also added that he is not in favor for sending “a massive number of ground troops” to Syria.
