A second Republican senator spoke out in defense of Nato on Thursday, joining Mitch McConnell and the Democrats, after Donald Trump said that he was “absolutely” considering withdrawing from the alliance after it refused to take part in the joint assault with Israel against Iran.
“Nato stood by America when we were under attack and came to our aid after the September 11th attacks. Their soldiers fought and died alongside our troops in Afghanistan,” said Thom Tillis, a Republican, and Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, who co-chair the Senate Nato observer group.
“Any president that contemplates attempting to withdraw from Nato is not only fulfilling Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s greatest dreams but would be undermining America’s own national security interests.”

Let’s be serious here, Mitch McConnell? Can he even speak any more?
I thought he was dead.
2 war pigs.
Lame duck RINOs are the worst of the worst.
Tillis is a known freak in NC. All kinds of things swirling around about him. Probably hooks up with Noem’s husband online.
Strong, the TDS is in those two.
The usual suspects. 🙄
Both of these turds will be flushed this year.
September 11th was 25 years ago.
I’d play their game as long as they have a high ACU rating. Problem is the ones who back stab at critical moments.
Does McConnell even know where he is?
“Republican senators McConnell and Tillis break with Trump”
What else is new?
RINOs gonna Rino.
Both disgraced jackarses will be gone soon enough.
Senators need to stay in their lane
Two morons with no understanding of negotiation, beyond bribery.
It should have been sunset after the fall of the Soviet Union. If we HAVE to stay part of it we should just cut back on the money we spend on it.
We can stay in NATO after Trump just announces to the world we will not respond to a NATO request for assistance to any country refusing us air or landing rights.
He is, from the neck up and has been for a long time.
McConnell and Tillis - the 2 a-holes who are the most despised R Senators in DC by the base. It is no surprise at all they would run to join the rats to oppose Trump on this. Nato stabbed us in the back but these worthless traitors are fine with that.
