Do you think trying to end this war should be at the top of Democrats' agenda? And how can they go about that? Yes, yes, it should. It is a war that is not only illegal. It is one that should be opposed on political grounds, on economic grounds, on moral grounds. And it is something that the American people have spoken up loud and clear about. And I have to say that I find it quite ironic to read a post from the vice president as if he's describing the actions of a different administration He's the vice president of the United States of America He is not just some commentator online and there has to be a reckoning of the fact that this is a war that they Started it's a war that they can end if they think it was a part of their political demise
