Today, @SenBlumenthal and I introduced the Save the Kurds Act. I believe that there is strong bipartisan support for the idea of protecting the Kurds in Syria and beyond because they have been such a reliable ally to the United States. The SDF – with a large Kurdish element – took the brunt of the fight to defeat ISIS in President Trump’s first term. I realize Syria is complicated culturally, ethnically and politically. However, attacking the Kurds greatly diminishes the United States’ standing and will hinder Syria’s ability to grow as a country. To those countries or groups who believe it is open season on the Kurds in Syria without consequence, you will be sadly mistaken. lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.c…

This isn’t an accurate portrayal of events. The #SDF withdrawal from Deir Hafer & Maskanah happened as planned — but ~2hrs after it was complete, gov’t forces were ambushed inside Maskanah by #SDF fighters, leaving multiple casualties. Those clashes led to reciprocal escalation.
