10/10/19 - Rep. Cicilline posted the following to Facebook: "President Trump has Kurdish blood on his hands. Kurdish forces inside Syria did what Donald Trump was never willing to do, fight with the American military to secure our country’s safety. The President has abandoned our allies in a rash decision following an extended conversation with Turkish President Erdogan. The American people have a right to know what was said on that call with the leader of a country in which the Trump Organization has business interests. This is a sad day for Syrian Kurds and for America." View the Facebook post here.

04/01/19 - Rep. Cicilline tweeted "Erdogan is a brutal thug. Under his leadership, Turkey has moved further and further away from democratic values." View the tweet here.
