Bernie Sanders reacts to Trump’s Iran strikes in real time at ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ rally
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was delivering remarks at a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally in Tusla, Okla., on Saturday night when President Donald Trump announced the United States had successfully attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.
An aide interrupted Sanders’ remarks to deliver the message Trump had just blasted off on Truth Social.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in the post.
Sanders read the piece of paper with Trump’s Truth Social post to his supporters, shaking his head as the socialist senator processed what the president had just announced. “No more wars!” the crowd chanted.
Trump added in the post: “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Sanders nodded along as the crowd continued to chant, “No more wars!” before responding to the news in real time.
He said the news was not only “alarming,” but “so grossly unconstitutional.”
“All of you know that the only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The president does not have the right,” Sanders shouted.
