Chuck Schumer Breaks Silence, Opposes Trump Attack on Iran

Description :

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued a late statement opposing President Trump’s airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, calling for limits on the president’s war powers. His criticism, echoing past Democratic opposition to Trump’s military actions, came hours after bipartisan reactions. While Trump’s strike was within the bounds of the War Powers Resolution, Schumer and other Democrats support legislation to restrict action against Iran, Breitbart News has reported. Once a strong pro-Israel voice, Schumer has recently faced criticism for distancing himself from Israel and for not addressing rising campus antisemitism.
