No I am not. The dems gave him the excuse Erdogan needed to mouth off. Yes their congress did change the law to allow him to run but the government did try to silence him before.
Remember how important honor is among those people and the dims gave them the excuse to say we were not honorable allies and did not care about their interests.
He has been a thorn but he was relatively powerless. The dems gave him the soap box and the reason to incite the islamic elements against us.
Sorry “relatively powerless” should have said “held in check”.
