Hoyer Statement on House Republicans’ Latest Attempt to Distract from the President’s Abuse of Power

Hoyer Floor Remarks on a Bipartisan Resolution Opposing the President's Decision to Withdraw Troops from Northern Syria

There's rightly been broad bipartisan shock and condemnation that president trump would so recklessly endanger America’s allies, permit the release of thousands of violent ISIS extremists, and give to Vladimir Putin’s aims in Syria. In short, he just opened the door for ISIS to reclaim some power. any terrorist attack they now take part in will be the direct result of this action. President Trump has betrayed the trust, in my opinion, of the American people.
