Sen. Murphy: Rubio and Hegseth 'literally lied to our face' about Venezuela

Published | Video Starts at 00:58

America doesn't want this war. Nobody asked for this because it has nothing to do with American national security. And I think that's the most important conversation to have. Listen, Venezuela is not a security threat to the United States. They're not threatening to invade us. There is no terrorist group like Al Qaeda operating there that has plans to attack the United States. (00:58–01:01)
