GOP Sen. Sides With Dems After Hearing Trump’s ‘Un-American and Unconstitutional’ Iran Briefing
Conservative Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) was not happy at all after attending a briefing regarding Donald Trump’s reason behind the assassination of Iranian General Qassim Suleimani.
Shortly after the briefing, Lee appeared to be “ANGRY” and lashed out at the U.S. president.
“It’s un-American, it’s unconstitutional, and it’s wrong,” Lee said, referring to Trump’s reason behind the airstrike.
