Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg says the president’s policy in Syria is undermining the U.S.

On Sunday’s “State of the Union” program on CNN, Buttigieg told host Jake Tapper that if he were commander-in-chief he would not have pulled the troops that were helping protect the Kurds being attacked by Turkey.

The candidate said the move shows the U.S. under President Trump has become “just another country out there scrapping for advantage” rather than showing leadership.

Pete shouldnt criticize anyone with what he has done in South Bend. He says he did a lot and he did, just none of it is worth what it cost.
