In the aftermath of the Canada-related insanity of the last 24 hours, it is wholly legitimate to ask for a forceful response from Democratic leadership. But before writing an angry denunciation of said leaders for not speaking up, one should probably Google for five seconds to see if they have done so.
Guess what? They have:
Members of Democratic leadership tore into President Trump on Saturday for reversing his endorsement of the Group of Seven (G-7) joint communique and threatening to impose tariffs on Canada.
[...]
“Are we executing Putin’s diplomatic and national security strategy or AMERICA’s diplomatic and national security strategy? After the last few days, it’s hard to tell,” Schumer tweeted Saturday.
[...]
“This week started with @realDonaldTrump boosting a Chinese company identified as a national security threat to the U.S.,” Pelosi tweeted.
“It ended with him standing up for Russia and alienating our allies at the G7. #MAGA”
The Daily Caller, to which I will not link because it is a right-wing rag, even blasted Schumer and Pelosi for, quote, “going ballistic”.
There are many legitimate reasons to be irritated with, annoyed by, or angry at Democratic leadership. That’s not a discussion that should be shut down. But let’s make sure we stick to the facts and do basic research before jumping in with both feet.
