AOC flip-flops on Syrian involvement

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Often-Comatose (D-NY) will protest everything President Trump says or does, even if she agree with it before he said or did it.

Last April, after the big words in the letter were explained to her, she joined other bipartisan lawmakers to slam Trump for keeping U.S. troops in Syria. They penned this:

"The 2015 introduction of U.S. military forces into hostilities in Syria was never approved by Congress, in violation of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973.  We believe that the stated intention of withdrawing our forces is appropriate, and we look forward to the orderly return of our service members from this theater of conflict.”

The letter was signed by Republican Sens. Mike Lee and Rand Paul as well as Democrats AOC and her fellow anti-Semitic freshman congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who never met a brother she didn't want to marry.

The letter also stated:

“It is long past time to rein in the use of force that goes beyond congressional authorization, and we look forward to pursuing this long-standing bipartisan objective with your Administration. Finally, we hope this will serve as a model for ending hostilities in the future — in particular, as you and your administration seek a political solution to our involvement in Afghanistan.”

So this week, the Trump Administration announced that American troops will begin a withdrawal from the Syrian border to make way for a Turkish incursion into the region against the Kurds.

On Monday, Trump tweeted:

“The Kurds fought with us, but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so. They have been fighting Turkey for decades. I held off this fight for almost three years, but it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous endless wars, many of them tribal, and bring our soldiers home.”

And he continued tweeting on Wednesday, retweeting a post about the “endless quagmires in the Middle East.” “Should have never been there in the first place!” Trump wrote. Bad.

However, now that Trump is having troops pull out, Comatose thinks America ought to stay in Syria. [And people believe she's not only a great social media personality, but that she's also sincere.]

In emulation of the president, AOC also took to Twitter on Tuesday:

Trump’s sudden withdrawal from northern Syria & endorsement of Turkey’s actions could have catastrophic consequences & risks laying the ground for immense violence and suffering. 

We can pursue a strategy to stop our endless wars without endangering the lives of innocent people. https://t.co/N2YWjEGveX

That stance is completely opposite of her long-held position that the U.S. must pull out of Syria. It took Trump to change her little mind.

When she was running for Congress in 2018, she vowed to work to end U.S. involvement in not just Syria, but across the Middle East. Now she vows to go against Trump every way she possibly can, no matter what the situation.

AOC's campaign website states:

“Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the United States has entangled itself in war and occupation throughout the Middle East and North Africa. As of 2018, we are currently involved in military action in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia. Hundreds of thousands of civilians in these countries have been killed either as collateral damage from American strikes or from the instability caused by U.S. interventions. Millions more have fled their broken countries, contributing to the global refugee crisis.”

It's always a delight to observe how the left keeps sticking their collective heads up into their collective nether regions, especially when it comes to hypocrisy and the art of the flip-flop.
