04/24/20 - Rep. Lowenthal tweeted "Today we mark the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. I was proud to join my House colleagues last year in two historic votes to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide. It remains our moral duty and obligation, to never forget this crime against humanity. #NeverAgain" View the tweet here.

10/16/19 - Rep. Lowenthal posted the following to Facebook: "The President of the United States gave the green light for Turkey to invade. And almost immediately, the carnage began, just like the world warned. Now the president says it’s “not our problem.” Truly disgusting. I was proud to vote today with 353 of my House colleagues from both sides of the aisle to condemn Turkish aggression against our Kurdish allies in Syria." View the Facebook post here.

10/15/19 - Rep. Lowenthal tweeted "The president has put innocent lives at risk. He has jeopardized our national security and empowered our enemies. He’s risking the resurgence of ISIS. Congress will hold Turkey responsible for wrongdoing—but this is a crisis of Donald Trump’s own making." View the tweet here.

10/15/19 - Rep. Lowenthal posted the following to Facebook: "In one phone call to the president of Turkey, President Trump betrayed our allies, created the setting for a vast humanitarian disaster, injected chaos into an already unstable region, and diminished the standing of our nation on the international stage. His rash action in Syria has jeopardized our national security by empowering our enemies and risking the resurgence of ISIS. Congress must hold Turkey responsible for the atrocities they commit -- but this crisis began and falls on the shoulders of our own president." View the Facebook post here.

10/11/19 - Rep. Lowenthal posted the following to Facebook: "The Trump Administration isn’t ending wars. American soldiers were ordered to stand down while the Erdogan regime in Turkey launches attacks on the Kurds—long-time, reliable allies and partners of the US. This betrayal undermines national security. It is also a humanitarian and moral disaster. He has turned his back on our moral and strategic commitments at every turn. His reckless behavior empowers autocrats everywhere." View the Facebook post here.
