Democratic Representative Hakeem Jeffries receives a wave of criticism. Read why

 


Democratic Representative Hakeem Jeffries is receiving a tremendous wave of criticism for "regretting" President Trump's decision to attack Iranian nuclear targets.

The issue isn't that he regrets what he regrets, but that he forgot what citizens do remember: that President Obama didn't seek congressional approval when ordering strikes during his term, and then it was war for the sake of war, Americans say.

"Donald Trump, and his actions, which do not appear to be consistent with the United States Constitution, undertake unilateral offensive military actions without seeking congressional approval. The use of military force, which is offensive in nature, must be approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate... It's not optional, Donald," Jeffries said.

The Democratic representative follows the line of his party, which is still deeply wounded after the 2024 electoral defeat and the announced electoral defeat the following year, but wounds cannot be healed by forgetting and unsustainable "regrets."
