U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney speaks during a news conference with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other Republican members of the House of Representatives at the Capitol on July 21, 2020 in Washington, DC. After President Trump stated his desire to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, Germany and South Korea, the bipartisan war party sprang into action.
House Democrats worked with Liz Cheney on an amendment putting several conditions on the administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan, requiring the White House to certify at several stages that further reductions wouldn't jeopardize counterterrorism or national security.
Trump is the only president to challenge the internationalist interventionist orthodoxy that's ruled Washington unquestioned for the last 70 years.
When President Trump declared before the immobile faces of Mt. Rushmore, "A nation must care for its own citizens first. We must take care of America first," he was channeling that original America Firster, Joe Kennedy.
The man who would father three senators and a president offered this advice in 1950: America needs "To get out of Korea" and "Apply the same principle to Europe." We must "Conserve American lives for American ends, not waste them in the freezing hills of Korea or the battle-scarred plains of Western Germany."
The establishment has hated McGovern ever since for the same reason they hate President Trump.
The America First program would dismantle the imperial project that brought us NATO and has kept us on permanent war footing until today.
