Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) slammed Vice President Kamala Harris over the weekend for her lying during last week’s presidential debate about there not being any U.S. soldiers in any active duty combat zones around the world.
Cotton called out ABC News debate moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir for not fact checking Harris’ false claim,
He said that Harris’ claim “would come as a surprise to the thousands of troops we still have in places like Iraq and Syria that are getting repeatedly hit by mortars and drones and other attacks by Iranian-backed terrorists because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have appeased and emboldened the ayatollahs for four years.”
“It would probably come as a surprise to all of the sailors we have in the Red Sea who are facing the constant threat of missile attacks from rebels and outlaws in Yemen that again, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have turned a blind eye to, that they took off the terrorist list in their first days in office after Donald Trump had put them on the list, that just this morning, fired a ballistic missile into Israel,” he continued.
Harris falsely claimed during the debate: “And as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”
The U.S. has more than 3,000 soldiers spread across Iraq and Syria fighting ISIS and providing stability to the region. These soldiers have been attacked by Iranian-backed terrorists more than 200 times since Hamas’ October 7 massacre in Israel last year and at least 3 U.S. soldiers have been killed. The U.S. Navy is also operating in the region and fighting against the Houthis, another Iranian-backed terrorist group.
“Kamala Harris’s lie about American troops not facing danger in war zones around the world is just one more example of why she’s a weak, failed San Francisco liberal who is not up to the job of being our Commander in Chief,” Cotton concluded.
