As per our previous report on the issue in Korea, the situation was tense, but in the last few hours the tension finally snapped and a War is underway. Our reporter listening in to the Senate meetings watched live as reports poured in about the invasion of North Korea (one of these reports can be seen in the breaking news update below), causing the poor state of the Senate to get even worse. This poor state is a result of intense internal conflict, which culminated recently in the accusation of plagiarism against Senator Styles Bridges. But that is just a snapshot of the discord within the government body.
The situation escalated even further when President Truman himself showed up in Senate meeting, almost yelling at them as he informed them that their actions have been slow and had little effect on the worsening situation in Korea. Truman then proceeded to tell the Senate how disappointed he was that his military budget was not fully approved as our South Korean allies die in battle against the communist terror.
After the President left the meeting more reports came in reporting the Seoul had fallen, but the Senate continued to argue amongst each other. This time accusing each other of being communist spies. Senator Robert Taft is even quoted saying:
“Anyone could be a communist, even the President!”
Senator Russel B. Long then stated that:
“We need to remove these commies, and I think Mccarthy is SUS!”
South Korea is falling, but the U.S. senate can’t even trust each other.
