‘Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Butchers?!’ Scott Jennings Hammers Ex-DNC Spox over Doubts Iran Was ‘Real True Threat’

EXCERPT:

HINOJOSA: "In order for the president to take action without congressional approval, he needed to show that there was a real, true threat to the United States and that the strike would not cause escalation. The problem with this is that normally you would have a group of lawyers from all across the agencies that actually would make these determinations. Trump did away with that at the beginning of this administration, so it's unclear what type of legal advice Trump was getting. The Department of Defense usually puts out a statement and says what the legality is of any strike that the president is taking without congressional action. Here, we have not heard from DOD what is happening there. So what will be critical in the weeks to come is, Congress must see the underlying intelligence about how they were in direct threat and how the U.S. needed to respond without congressional approval. But, as of right now, I have not seen that."

JENNINGS: "You're arguing that, after 46 years of the Iranian regime killing Americans, threatening Americans, saying over and over and over again 'Death to America,' that maybe they were just — didn't mean it, that they're fiery, but mostly peaceful Iranian butchers? I mean, I don't understand. This is a righteous strike."
