But he also says that he very much supported Trump's April 6 Tomahawk missile strikes on Syria and Coons uses the alleged sarin gas attack that prompted it as evidence of Russian bad faith. Which raises two questions:
- Does Coons not know about Seymour Hersh's recent report? (Trump‘s Red Line Welt 06/25/2017)
- Does no one on the Morning Joe crew know about Seymour Hersh's recent report? Because in this segment at least, no one asks him about it or the information in it.

This was the announcement that set off this latest round of public speculation on a new attack on Syria being planned by Washington, from UN Ambassador Nikki Haley:
Any further attacks done to the people of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but also on Russia & Iran who support him killing his own people.
