Trump takes heat from Dems and GOPers over decision to bomb Iran: ‘Another foreign war’

A handful of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle fumed at President Trump’s decision to bomb top nuclear facilities in Iran and accused him of violating the Constitution.

On Sunday, Trump announced that he had ordered strikes to target Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites. Trump noted that all planes successfully departed Iranian airspace and were “safely on their way home.”

“Every time America is on the verge of greatness, we get involved in another foreign war,” firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a top Trump ally, lamented.

“There would not be bombs falling on the people of Israel if Netanyahu had not dropped bombs on the people of Iran first. Israel is a nuclear-armed nation. This is not our fight.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who hasn’t been shy about splitting with Trump in the past, simply declared: “This is not Constitutional.”

Top Intel Committee Democrat Jim Himes (D-Conn.) similarly accused Trump of exceeding his presidential authorities with the strikes.

“According to the Constitution, we are both sworn to defend, my attention to this matter comes BEFORE bombs fall. Full stop,” Himes fumed on X.

Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) also called it an “unambiguous impeachable offense.”

“This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress,” Casten said on X.

“I’m not saying we have the votes to impeach. I’m saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval and if Johnson doesn’t grow a spine and learn to be a real boy tomorrow we have a BFing problem that puts our very Republic at risk.”
