The US Killed 150 ISIS Fighters In An Airstrike In Syria During The #SchumerShutdown

While Sen. Chuck Schumer was busy staging a government shutdown over the weekend, the US military was busy kicking serious terrorist butt.

During the government shutdown, the US military killed 150 ISIS fighters in an airstrike in Syria. They were targeting an area with a “heavy concentration of ISIS fighters.”

From Fox News:

The airstrike took in one of the last remaining pockets of ISIS control along the Euphrates River near the border between Syria and Iraq, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command, responsible for American forces in the Middle East.

While ISIS has lost 98 percent of its territory, the remaining 2 percent held by the terror group includes an area around the Syrian city of Al-Shaafah, where the strike took place. Top U.S. military officials believe the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is hiding in the area.

U.S.-backed fighters in the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) “assisted in target observation prior to the strikes,” according to a statement announcing the airstrike.

That’s right. Schumer was busy trying to make Trump look bad by shutting down the government for no reason whatsoever, and our military continued to kick terrorist butt.

“The strikes underscore our assertion that the fight to liberate Syria is far from over,” said Maj. Gen. James Jarrard, commanding general of the special operations joint task force.

“Our SDF partners are still making daily progress and sacrifices, and together we are still finding, targeting and killing ISIS terrorists intent on keeping their extremist hold on the region. We cannot take our focus off our mission, and we must not lose our momentum in taking these terrorists off the battlefield and preventing them from resurfacing somewhere else,” Jarrard said.

Sarah Sanders decided to inform the left that this happened. You know. Since they’ll probably ignore it.

Democrats shut down the government for nothing for a few days but certainly didn't shut down our winning campaign to defeat ISIS https://t.co/TGYGraNDIV

What? Schumer shut down the government for no reason, and the US military killed 150 terrorists during that time period. What about that is “juvenile partisan bullsh*t”?
