US member of Congress admits to US support for terrorists in Syria, starts campaign against it

The legislation would prohibit the U.S. government from using American taxpayer dollars to provide funding, weapons, training, and intelligence support to groups like the Levant Front, Fursan al-Ha and other allies of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, al-Qaeda and ISIS, or to countries who are providing direct or indirect support to those same groups.

The legislation is cosponsored by political stalwarts including Peter Welch, Barbara Lee, Dana Rohrabacher, Thomas Massie and backed by the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) and the U.S. Peace Council.
