Massachusetts Democratic Representative Jake Auchincloss wasted no time attacking President Donald Trump's military operations targeting Venezuelan criminal organizations, appearing on CNN Monday night to label the strikes "illegal and extrajudicial."
During his appearance on "Anderson Cooper 360," the progressive congressman launched into criticism of the Commander-in-Chief's decisive action against threats emanating from the socialist narco-state, once again demonstrating the left's reflexive opposition to any measure President Trump takes to protect American interests.
The Left's Predictable Playbook
Auchincloss's criticism follows the predictable Democratic playbook: oppose any Trump action, question its legality, and rush to friendly media outlets to amplify the message. Notably absent from his CNN appearance was any alternative solution for dealing with the threats posed by Venezuelan criminal networks.
The American people elected President Trump with a clear mandate to secure the border and take decisive action against foreign threats. Congressional Democrats like Auchincloss seem determined to obstruct that agenda at every turn, even when American safety hangs in the balance.
As the Trump administration continues its efforts to dismantle criminal organizations with ties to the Venezuelan regime, Americans can expect more hand-wringing from the left—and more results-oriented action from their President.
