Some might have scratched their heads Wednesday upon learning that libertarian Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and self-described “socialist” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., had come together to praise President Trump.
But it is on something all three ostensibly agree on: withdrawing American troops from Syria.
Also on Wednesday, constitutionally conservative Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, found himself on the same side as progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. Furthermore, House Liberty Caucus members Justin Amash, R-Mich., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., allied with pro-peace Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. Plus, Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Bill Posey, R-Fla., Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., and Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., teamed up with principled Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif.
This motley crew all signed a letter to Trump showing “bipartisan support of your announcement of the start of a ‘deliberate withdrawal’ of U.S. military forces in Syria.”
