YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUS News: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer launched a fiery attack on U.S. President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict during a speech on the Senate floor, accusing the former president of dragging the United States into an “illegal, costly war” without congressional authorization or a clear endgame.
Schumer mocked repeated claims from Trump allies that the conflict was merely a “skirmish,” “mini war,” “blip,” or “love tap,” declaring: “Let’s call the ongoing hostilities with Iran.”
In his speech, Schumer argued that the 60-day deadline under the War Powers Act had already passed and said hostilities must cease unless Congress approves further military action. He slammed Trump’s comments suggesting the war was effectively over, calling the idea “bunk, poppycock, craziness.”
Schumer also linked the Iran conflict to rising gas prices, saying Americans were now paying significantly more at the pump because of the escalating tensions. He claimed Trump was “handing the American people a glass of water to put out the fire he started.”
The Democratic leader vowed that Senate Democrats would force another vote on the War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities with Iran, warning Republicans they would “bear the blame for Trump’s war” if they opposed it.
