Let’s be clear: The President is advocating for an attack on 10+ million U.S. residents in two of America’s largest cities. This is not normal. None of this is. And we will continue to remind folks of that every day.

Let's all AGREE that a President suggesting that a foreign adversary taking out 2 American cities is "a small price to pay" is the most fucked up thing a President ever said. 25th Amendment NOW.
