Chris Murphy: “President Obama helped participate in war in the Middle…”

“It is okay for you to support President Trump generally and politically and admit that this war was a massive mistake. We did that when there were Democratic presidents in office. President Obama helped participate in war in the Middle East, helping the Saudis be involved in a conflict in Yemen. Many of us thought that was a mistake. We came to the floor and opposed President Trump. We actually filed resolutions making it harder for President, excuse me, President Obama, making it harder on President Obama to fuel that war.” (08:43–08:55)
