They have reservations about the military seizing power but welcome the removal from power of Robert Mugabe.

Maryland Senator Ben Cardin, who’s the most senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says the removal of Robert Mugabe is a desirable outcome by a less than desireable means.

He says US lawmakers obviously don’t like coups.

However it’s time for Zimbabwe to  move on and he hopes it will find a democratic outcome.

Arizona Republic Senator Jeff Flake, who made headlines last month slamming President Donald Trump as he announced his intention not to run again, expressed his pleasure at Mugabe’s departure.

He spent time in Zimbabwe in the eighties as a Mormon missionary and wrote his master’s thesis trying to explain Mugabe’s hold on power.
