Donald Trump‘s authorization of a drone strike that killed Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani has led to pushback from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who said the president did not receive the go-ahead from Congress and kept Democratic leaders in the dark.
Conservative radio personality Mark Levin took to Twitter to suggest that Trump was not obligated to seek authorization from Congress, Breitbart reports.
“Trump didn’t confer with Congress? Uh, Congress has been on recess,” Levin wrote. “Moreover, the House Intelligence Committee has spent months orchestrating a coup against our president rather than doing its job protecting America from, among others, the terrorist regime in Iran.”
“But a president is not required to alert Congress to a real-time defensive military action. So Pelosi and her ilk can leak and put the military action at risk? These Democrats are undermining our security. We were attacked by the Iranian regime.”
