January 8, 2020 Infighting Is Funny, Republicans

Raw Story reports:

Conservative Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) blasted the Trump administration on Wednesday for their “unconstitutional” briefing on why President Donald Trump assassinated Iranian General Qassim Suleimani. “It’s un-American, it’s unconstitutional, and it’s wrong,” Lee said. CBS News reporter Kathryn Watson described Lee as “ANGRY.” He will now support a vote on the war pushed by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is ANGRY after the administration briefing.

“I walked into that briefing undecided” on a War Powers Act resolution.

“That briefing is what changed my mind … I’m now going to support it.”
