Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he believes President Trump’s “America first” policy is making the country “America alone.” Warner joined CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, where he was asked if he was glad the Trump administration is taking a more aggressive stance against the Houthi Rebels in Yemen and what impact it could have on trade through the Red Sea.
“I think we should take more affirmative action. I think the administration is doing the right thing,” he said. “I would rather them do it with more of our allies involved,” Warner continued. “But the fact that Donald Trump’s ‘America first’ is turning quickly into ‘America alone,’ but the basis of going after Houthis in a stronger, tougher way, I agree with.”
The Trump administration’s recent attack on the Houthis has been closely examined after it was revealed the administration included The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg in a group chat talking about the strike.
Warner laid into several Trump administration officials on Tuesday during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on their handling of the chat’s messages. “This is one more example of the kind of sloppy, careless, incompetent behavior, particularly towards classified information, that this is not a one-off or a first-time error,” he said.

I loved it when he kept saying "the doge boys" because they deserve to be belittled, constantly.
