Hillary Clinton: We Can't Protect Syrian Babies While Banning Refugees

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighed in on the United States' airstrikes in Syria Friday, saying it was hypocritical to lament the loss of innocent Syrian children in chemical attacks while simultaneously forbidding those those children from entering the United States.
Clinton criticized President Donald Trump's attempts to ban Syrian refugees from the U.S. She also emphasized the attacks need to be accompanied by a plan to end Syria's civil war, which the country has been embroiled in since 2011, when she was Secretary of State.
"I hope this administration will move forward in a way that is both strategic and consistent with our values," she said at a luncheon in Texas. "And I also hope that they will recognize that we cannot in one breath speak of protecting Syrian babies and in the next close America's doors to them."
Clinton was referring to President Trump's executive order banning Syrian refugees from entering the United States for three months...............................

(22,672 posts)Republican rule under the Kremlin is no way to live. There are no more colors, just grey and black. Nothing positive to look forward to, just abomination under oppressive dictating republican rule. I don't blame the politicians half as much as I blame all the hoodwinked voters. Conned again!
