I am seeing a dangerous narrative 'round social media -- that DEMS love wars and are against peace.

Seriously.

I'm seeing it in various corners.

Someone is pushing this disinformation very hard.

Predicated on Trump's withdrawals of forces, but being used to weaken Dems.

Push back!

Use photos of the Iraq war protests, for example.

When they want to pull out and evade responsibility for what they've done, then we become the warmongers.

I'm seeing this talk from people who know better.

It seems to be everywhere, in memes and comments being distributed.

Some entity is working very hard to weaken Dems.

to fix what we broke, which we never would have broken in the first place if they had listened to us all those years ago. It has nothing to do with peace. It has to do with appeasing Russia and abandoning all the people that we promised to help to a horrible fate.

Brett McGurk was the top official leading the fight against ISIS, and not only did Gump not consult with him, he didn't even know who he was .

In light of such an embarrassing admission, Democrats would be foolish not to question the soundness of this decision.
