The bombshell revelation that President Trump knew about Russian-backed bounties placed on the heads of American and coalition forces in Afghanistan—and did nothing about it—is one of the more disturbing failures of his presidency.
We believe that the failure to act on intelligence that American soldiers were being hunted down by Russian-backed, Taliban-linked militants is treasonous.
This dereliction of duty also critically underscores the need for electing more proven leaders to Congress who have a foreign policy or national security background. The men and women representing the United States overseas deserve leaders who understand the life and death stakes they face every day in service to their nation.
Here’s what Seth had to say about it:
“If I led my Marines into an ambush because I didn’t bother to read the intelligence report I was given that said we would get ambushed there, I wouldn’t be tweeting that it wasn’t my fault—I would be in prison.“
