Trump Hits Iran, Left Explodes — Even One Republican Says It’s ‘Unconstitutional’
Leading members of Congress and progressive activists erupted on social media following President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States had launched airstrikes against Iran.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) stated, “Dear colleagues: Don’t make another mistake in dragging our country into another war,” Tlaib tweeted. “You can stop the President and the war mongers in Congress by signing on to our War Powers Resolution.”
“Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress,” Ro Khanna (D-CA) posted. “We need to immediately return to DC and vote on @RepThomasMassie and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war.”
Massie, a libertarian-leaning Republican, joined Democrats in blasting the strikes, writing, “This is not Constitutional,” in response to Trump’s post.
Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg also weighed in,“What happened to no new wars?” Hogg asked. “Also how are we paying for this? If we can’t afford to spend trillions on healthcare we sure as hell can’t afford to spend trillions on another endless war.” (Read more from “Trump Hits Iran, Left Explodes — Even One Republican Says It’s ‘Unconstitutional’” HERE)
