Senator Murray's Address to Washington State

Published | Video Starts at 10:35

He's burning bridges, he's burning our credibility on the world stage, and he's threatening to charge us headfirst into wars with no long term strategy and no concern for the service members he puts in harm's way. Earlier this year, he ordered an act of war in Venezuela, despite lacking any authority from Congress. and any plan for what happens next. Right now, he is posturing to start a war with Iran again without coming to Congress for approval and without actually considering how many American service members a war like that would put in harm's way. (10:35–10:42)
