And then President Trump made the decision without a rationale, without a plan, without consulting with allies, without consulting or seeking a vote of Congress to enter the nation into yet another war in the Middle East. And the entire world is suffering. But the suffering that matters the most to me is the suffering of Americans. The 13 families who have lost loved ones in an unnecessary war.” (01:21–01:35)
