Rep. Liz Cheney went after Elizabeth Warren for advocating a no-first-strike nuclear policy. And Bernie Sanders came to Warren’s defense.
Sen. Bernie Sanders defended his rival 2020 Democratic hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Friday after Rep. Liz Cheney went after Warren for advocating a no-first-strike nuclear policy.
During the Democratic primary debate Tuesday, Warren pushed for the United States to adopt a policy of never using a nuclear weapon unless another country uses one first — a policy that CNN moderator Jake Tapper noted President Barack Obama had considered but ultimately declined. Warren said the policy would help minimize misunderstandings by foreign adversaries of U.S. intentions, preventing an accidental catastrophe.
"Which American cities and how many American citizens are you willing to sacrifice with your policy of forcing the US to absorb a nuclear attack before we can strike back?" Cheney wrote Wednesday on Twitter.today - which American cities and how many American citizens are you willing to sacrifice with your policy of forcing the US to absorb a nuclear attack before we can strike back?Friday afternoon, Sanders shot back at Cheney, sparking a heated back and forth.
"Taking national security advice from a Cheney has already caused irreparable damage to our country," Sanders tweeted. "We don't need any more, thanks."No surprise commie
