And for the second time in one month, it’s not clear Republicans know what to do about it. Many high-profile Republicans spoke out Monday, and while some didn’t mention Trump directly, many rebuked him in no uncertain terms. The President’s decision to abandon our Kurd allies in the face of an assault by Turkey is a betrayal. Graham has floated legislation including a resolution opposing the Syria decision, and he said he’s in talks with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) Republicans have treated Trump with kid gloves on these issues, and he seems only to have been emboldened to go in the opposite direction.
