The bipartisan House resolution that sharply rebuked Trump for pulling troops out of northern Syria—and thereby hanging the Kurds out to dry—passed by an overwhelming margin. Specifically, 354-60. Which means 60 members of the House are okay with hanging some of our most resolute allies out to dry—even at the price of helping ISIS.

Note that the rest of the Kentucky contingent (Rogers, Guthrie, Barr, and Yarmuth) voted to condemn Trump’s reckless abandonment of our allies and his lack of concern for both the Kurds (our allies) and our own troops. It was a strong bi-partisan vote – yet Jamie Comer and Thomas Massie voted against it, standing with Trump instead.
