USA should ‘take out’ Assad air fields: Clinton
“I think what was done to us was an act of aggression”.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said it appears that Assad should have “no role” in governing the Syrian people, and that “steps are under way” for the United States – along with an worldwide coalition – to remove the dictator. During her interview, The New York Times reported that the C.I.A. warned senior lawmakers last summer about Russia’s efforts to help elect Trump, months earlier than was previously reported.
In front of a packed auditorium at the Lincoln Centre, Clinton spoke about her life after the Election Day.
The aftermath of the election was so devastating.
‘As a person, I’m OK. “As an American, I’m pretty anxious”.
“I don’t understand the commitment to hurt so many people that this White House seems to be pursuing”, she said.
She also admitted that it was “somewhat gratifying” to watch as a Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare failed even before it came to a vote.
“You know, health care is complicated”.
Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily ban immigrants from Syria, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya from entering the U.S., but a federal judge has blocked part of such order. “That was somewhat gratifying”.
The US military launched dozens of missiles at an airfield in western Syria today (April 6), days after the Syrian government allegedly used chemical weapons against civilians.
The lingering disappointment among her supporters in the room was clear. “And you would have been attacked for doing things that would now seem inconsequential”.
Among her worries, she cited President Trump’s policies toward women and healthcare, Russian interference in the election and the downward spiral of Syria.
The 69-year-old is now slowly emerging from post-election seclusion to make speeches, promote young people and to encourage more women to get involved in politics.
“Putin publicly blamed me for the outpouring of outrage by his own people, and that is the direct line between what he said back then and what he did in this election”, she said.
Days after the California appearance, Clinton delivered pointed criticism of the Trump administration. She reiterated that position in an event in NY on Thursday just hours before the airstrikes began. “It was so obvious”, Clinton said.
