Martha McSally.

Arizona’s Second District Congresswoman Martha McSally championed President Donald Trump’s decision to lead airstrikes against Syria on Friday.

Speaking on Fox News Channel Saturday morning, McSally said the airstrikes send a clear message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

 “The strategic goals were to send a message that using weapons of mass destruction will not be tolerated by the civilized world," McSally said. "And so, I’m very proud and I stand with the president on this decision."

 McSally is a retired United States Air Force colonel and is running to replace current U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake who is not seeking re-election.
