Good grief - McConnell contradicts T on ISIS and al Qaeda

Just saw this on CNN:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing an amendment to a Middle East policy bill that would acknowledge "al Qaeda, ISIS and their affiliates in Syria and Afghanistan continue to pose a serious threat to us here at home," a move seen as a sharp rebuke to President Donald Trump's push to withdraw US troops from Syria.

It's Twilight Zone time, folks!

Guess he's going to play the good guy since his hands have been caught in the Russian cookie jar.
