Lena Dunham, Kerry Washington, and Cher React to President Trump’s Airstrikes on Syria

According to the president, the “targeted military strike” was on an air base in Syria where 59 Tomahawk missiles were launched.

Trump addressed the media about the airstrikes from his weekend home at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Trump said of the airstrike, “It is in the vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.”

Girls creator Lena Dunham has been a longtime critic of the president, but her reaction was focused on peace and safety.

Finally, Cher showed off her strong emoji game while also voicing her displeasure — we think.
