WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 7, 2017) — Today, Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) released this statement following the air strike carried out on a Syrian air base by President Donald Trump: 

“I support the President’s responsible action last night. Families should be able to go about their daily lives without fear of terrorism. For the Syrian people living under Assad’s reign of terror, fear is their daily reality. With the administration’s tactical military action last night, we demonstrate that the free world stands against these bad actors. I look forward to hearing more details from the White House and their engagement with Congress on any further action.”
