Appearing on CNN Monday night, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz justified an attack on Syria as moral, because “as a Jew … the concept of never again has to mean something.”
Wolf Blitzer asked the Florida Democrat what President Obama’s next move would be if Congress were to reject a strike on President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
“Well, I feel confident that our colleagues, my colleagues both on the Republican side of the aisle as well as the Democratic side of the aisle are not going to jeopardize the credibility of the United States,” Mrs. Wasserman Schultz said.
“For me as a mother, to see that searing image of babies lined up, murdered by their own government, innocent children,” she continued. “I mean, as a Jew, Wolf, I have to tell you, as a member of Congress who represents one of the largest Holocaust survivor populations in the country, to me, the concept of never again, has to mean something. And the United States, morally, cannot turn the other cheek. Too many leaders of ours have regretted that decision.”
House leaders from both side of the aisle said Tuesday they’ll back President Obama’s plan for military strikes against Assad.
