GOP Senator Mike Lee is ticked off about the Trump administration’s “unconstitutional” and “un-American” overreach
ShutterstockThe Republican senior senator from Utah emerged from a classified briefing by the Trump administration on the conflict withhe worst briefing I’ve seen, at least on a military issue, in the nine years I’ve served in the United States Senate.”Qasem SoleimaniWhat we were told, over and over again, was, Look this action was necessary, this was a bad guy we had to do it,”
Lee told reporters on camera in the Capitol, admitting he was left “unsatisfied” by the administration’s justifications: “I’d hoped and expected to receive more information outlining the legal, factual, and moral justification for the attack.” But the Republican was steaming mad about executive branch officials’ message to senators to fall in line behind president and not question military action against the Persian Gulf nation.
“One of the messages we received from the briefers,” Lee said, “was, ‘Do not debate. Do not discuss the appropriateness of further military intervention against the Iran — and that if you do you’ll be emboldening Iran.'”
