Lujan Grisham Statement on U.S. Strikes on Syria

Statement

U.S. Representative Michelle Lujan Grisham released the following statement in response to the U.S. Strikes on Syria over suspected chemical weapons attack.

"The Assad regime's human rights abuses and crimes against humanity cannot go unpunished. Further, Russia and Iran must be held accountable for their support of a murderer who cowardly gasses his own people.

"But Americans at home and our soldiers serving overseas deserve a plan. Congress has a constitutional obligation to be engaged and authorize the use of military force. The United States needs to develop a comprehensive and consistent diplomatic strategy with our allies to protect innocent civilians, resolve this complex conflict, and ultimately bring our troops home. I fear the Administration's erratic statements and mixed messages have only emboldened our enemies and confused our partners."
