FOCUS: Woodall misrepresents keeping partners of U.S. accountable

By Joe Briggs | In George Washington’s prescient farewell speech to the nation, he dedicated 11 paragraphs to warning us against ‘passionate attachments’ to other countries and “neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences.” He feared that we would take on that country’s enemies, fight their wars, and accept their values. Defenders of that country would be hailed as patriots whereas critics would be treated as traitors.
