Dozens of members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Thursday, urging “utmost caution and restraint” in further dealings with North Korea and condemning President Donald Trump for promising “fire and fury” in response to reports that the Asian nation is escalating its nuclear program.
“These statements are irresponsible and dangerous, and also senselessly provide a boon to domestic North Korean propaganda which has long sought to portray the United States as a threat to their people,” reads the letter from 64 House Democrats, led by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.).
“We respectfully but firmly urge you to do everything in your power to ensure that President Trump and other Administration officials understand the importance of speaking and acting with the utmost caution and restraint on this delicate issue,” the letter continues. “Congress and the American public will hold President Trump responsible if a careless or ill-advised miscalculation results in conflict that endangers our servicemembers and regional allies.”(continued)

Just roll over like the Kenyan.
The surrender Monkey Caucus.
I guess only North Korean dictators are allowed to make public pronouncements of military strength and the intentions to use that strength to defend his homeland and his allies.
I guess we should we should just keep appeasing this pocket gopher of a strongman. After all it has worked so far.
What a bunch of wussies.
64 Democrats....nuff said
Hate America caucus. This will work well in those 1000 lost seats. / sarcasm
Fat boy’s newest supporters. Media is with him too.
Where were these morons when Clinton was dealing with the Norks in 1994, paving the way for them to get nukes?
Send the all to Guam.
“the” as in “them”
Gaaaaah!
~yawn~
Does any sensible person listen to the far left any more?
Over 60 members of Congress put on their pink p*ssy hats for all the world to see.
How are ‘we’ appeasing the Norks ?
We have in the past under the previous three presidents.
how specifically ?
You have been on FR since 2000 and you are asking this question?
NK has extorted food and other goods from the developed world for decades. Have you been hide under a mattress for all these years?
The Norks agreed to use our light water reactor technology ( whose fuel can’t be used to build nukes ). We reneged on the contract.
The little fat dictator says “I will kill you” and Trump says “I will kill you back” and Trump is over the top for the democrats. Maybe some of them will be voted out next year.
