"Politicians
Reactions from members of Congress were mixed and not uniform by political party. Paul Ryan (R–WI), the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, said the strike was "appropriate and just". House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R–CA) said, "Assad has made his disregard for innocent human life and long-standing norms against chemical weapons use crystal clear. Tonight's strikes show these evil actions carry consequences." House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D–CA) said, "Tonight's strike in Syria appears to be a proportional response to the regime's use of chemical weapons." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R–KY) said the strike was "perfectly executed and for the right purpose". Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–NY) said, "Making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities he will pay a price is the right thing to do."[77][78] Senator Bill Nelson (D–FL) expressed his support, and said, "I hope this teaches Assad not to use chemical weapons again." Senator Marco Rubio (R–FL) called it an "important decisive step". Quoting the President's statement, Senator Orrin Hatch (R–UT) tweeted, "'No child of God should ever suffer such horror.' Amen."[80] In a joint statement, Senators John McCain (R–AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R–SC) said, "Unlike the previous administration, President Trump confronted a pivotal moment in Syria and took action. For that, he deserves the support of the American people." Their sentiment was shared by fellow Senators Bob Corker (R–TN), Tom Cotton (R–AR), Joni Ernst (R–IA), Cory Gardner (R–CO), David Perdue (R–GA), Ben Sasse (R–NE), and Thom Tillis (R–NC). Many members who supported the action showed lack of worry about the authority issues or did not know the legal and constitutional rationale that supported the action.
"Other lawmakers criticized the President's actions, or urged caution. [...]
Public
U.S. Media outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC and CNN were all generally supportive of the administration's decision to use airstrikes against Syria."
"The New York Times reported the reactions initially broke among partisan lines, with members of the Republican Party—the party of President Donald Trump—being generally supportive while the Democrats were generally critical.[114] Republicans Tom Cotton and Orrin Hatch praised the strikes.[115] Other lawmakers, in particular Democrats, although generally supportive of a limited strike to punish Assad for using banned chemical weapons, criticized the Trump administration for not seeking Congressional approval and for not having a "coherent Syria Strategy".[115] Democratic senator Tim Kaine re-emphasized his long-held belief that the military intervention without Congressional authorization and long-term strategy are "illegal" and "reckless"."
Unfortunately this kind of thing happens all the time all over the U.S. The Floyd case happened when there were other things going on that caused it to be a big deal. Notice the young man is not black. A couple of months before George Floyd was killed a cop in Las Cruces, NM killed someone the same way. But it was a hispanic cop and a hispanic victim. So, it doesn't fit the narrative we are supposed to pay attention to.

Donald Trump bombed Syria on two occasions, roughly a year apart, in April of 2017, and April of 2018. The first attack, against the Shayrat airbase, was a unilateral US action with Tomahawk missiles only. The second was a multi-lateral action, with military assistance from Britain and France, being a mix of aerial bombing and cruise missile strikes.
The reaction to the first bombing, both from Democratic politicians in the US, and liberal US media outlets, was broadly supportive. After saying he was not going to further America's involvement in the Syrian conflict, Trump gave the appearance of beginning to change tack, and it looks like many of his political opponents sought to encourage this. There was no further action until the second, and final, isolated attack a year later. There was dissent from this praise by both Democratic politicians and also plenty of Republicans:

The stated reasons for criticism were varied. From outright resistance to further involvement in Syria, to the lack of a coherent plan from Trump (i.e. Trump had no plans to bomb Syria further).
Come the second Syria bombing a year alter, where Trump managed to recruit France and Britain to the effort, and there was a similar mix of criticism from US politicians. The New York Times claimed that it confirmed somewhat to party political lines. But that seems to mean that Democrats were broadly in favour of bombing Syria, but that any such retaliatory bombing ought to be followed up with further bombing, so that the US was bombing Syria more consistently, rather than sporadically.

Does that mean that there will be pressure on Biden from within his own party to bomb Syria regularly, now that he has made a start?
