Graham: White House decision on Turkey 'unnerving to its core'
Republican senator Lindsey Graham is enraged this morning, taking the rare step of challenging Donald Trump on Twitter and in a phone call to Fox News - the two direct lines to the president.
On Twitter, Graham outlined his opposition to the presidents decision to abandon US allies in northern Syria, the Kurds, and support a Turkish offensive in the area. Graham said the abrupt foreign policy change ensures ISIS comeback, forces Kurds to align with Assad and Iran, destroys Turkeys relationship with US congress and will be a stain on Americas honor for abandoning the Kurds.
He also said if the plan goes forward, the Senate will ask for a reversal of the decision.

That said, he should have said 'additional stain on America's honor for once again abandoning the Kurds'.
