Rep. Jimmy Gomez

One of the things is that they ruin the credibility of the United States.

Your allies start questioning your word.

They actually question your motives.

They question if you're doing it to protect them or to protect the pocketbooks of the Trump family.

And it also puts into question what happens if something happens in their region in Asia, the Middle East and Europe?

Is the United States going to step forward?

Are you going to or are they going to continue this kind of belligerent behavior that we've seen everything from talking about taking over Greenland to the stuff that's going on in the Caribbean and Latin America?

That's what people are concerned of.

Yes, we have the largest military

on the face of the planet, but how you use it matters and undermining people's trust and the word of the United States makes everybody worse off.

And it's going to be expensive, not only in money, but also in lives.

Absolutely.

This president said he was going to end all foreign wars, that he was going to put America first, that he was going to reduce the cost of living, that he was going to drain the swamp.

He became the swamp.

Republicans are the swamp in Washington, D.C., backed up by billionaire backers and the establishment now.

And they basically said to the American people, we don't care how much we spend on the Middle East war, and we don't care how much you have to pay for it.

We're going to keep going because it's in their interest.

It's in the Donald Trump interest.

interest to continue.

And that's what's insulting.
