Rep. Don Bacon warns Trump that leaving NATO would cause Republican civil war
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) told CNN that if President Trump withdrew the U.S. from NATO, it would cause a 'civil war' in the Republican caucus and potentially destroy the party. Bacon said most Republicans would find such action totally unacceptable and that Trump would be wrong to claim he could leave NATO without Congress.
