Sen Murphy on War Pwr Res: "It's kind of alarming we only have 8 Republican votes"



Andrea Mitchell ✔ @mitchellreports

On War Powers Resolution, @ChrisMurphyCT: "It's kind of alarming we only have 8 Republican votes. It's a restatement of existing law & says the president can't take military action against Iran unless he is defending against imminent attack w/o coming to Congress 1st." #AMRstaff

After we're thru all of this come next January, there will have to be a reckoning with what the GOP has become.

there will never be a reckoning with what the GOP has become. GOP breaks things and Democrats fix them. That is why we can never have nice things.

It is a vicious cycle because the GOP is never held accountable for what they do. Maybe if they had, things would not be so bad. As it stands, the only lesson that the GOP has learned is that they can get away with whatever they do. Until the Democrats actually play hardball once they retake power nothing will really change.

But that was before they put Orange Julius Caesar in the white house.

That was before they threw their support behind America's Hitler (that's not hyperbole).

There's going to be a reckoning. The American people will demand it.

You want to see criminal investigations because of political affiliation? You ain't seen nothing yet.

I've said it before. I truly believe that when the evidence of Retrumplican corruption and treason come out... and it will come out... there are going to be people that flee the country to avoid prosecution.

The Retrumplican Party of today, AND THEIR SUPPORTERS and VOTERS, will be remembered in the same way the Vichy French and German National Socialist are remembered.
