On the recordJuly 16, 2018
No prior President has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant. Not only did President Trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary; but speaking for America to the world, our President failed to defend all that makes us who we are--a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. American Presidents must be the champions of that cause if it is to succeed.
