Former Bush Advisor Explains Why She Opposed Trump in 2016 | Fran Townsend's 2020 take | GZERO World
In 2016, Fran Townsend, former top security advisor to George W. Bush, signed a letter along with a bipartisan group of 122 foreign policy and security experts saying Donald Trump was unfit to be president. Does she still feel that way? Townsend explains the reasons why she agreed to sign that letter, and explains her take on the 2020 field and why she’s keeping her options open.
The assassination of Iranian General Qassim Suleimani and retaliatory missile strike on a U.S. military base in Iraq led to fears that a regional conflict—or even global war—were fast approaching.
