Charlamagne: ‘Politicians Sound Like Hypocrites’ Over Backlash to Trump Striking Iran Without Congressional Approval

‘There have been a bunch of presidents who have ordered strikes without congressional approval’

EXCERPT:

MCKELVEY: “This is one of those times where politicians sound like hypocrites, because Mark Kelly is right. President should get congressional approval, but there have been a bunch of presidents who have ordered strikes without congressional approval. Barack Obama did it against Libya. Joe Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval. Bill Clinton did it to Kosovo, I think you pronounce it. So, presidents ordering military action without congressional approval has become pretty routine. So — is it always a thing when they do it? I’m just asking, I don’t know.”
