House Votes To Sanction Turkey For Syria Massacre, Recognize Armenian Genocide In Sweeping Bipartisan Rebuke Of Trump Leniency

It is fitting that each GOP member of the Senate wear a MAGA hat as they ignore the American people — are American so stupid that they’ll stand for this and not vote and not protest against these pigs?
