'A Mistake Of Just Epic Scale': Chris Murphy Hammers Trump Over 'Illegal' Strikes On Iran

Published | Video Starts at 02:47

We do not allow one dodoring, self obsessed old man to decide if we go to war. The people decide through a vote. That's what our Constitution says. It's absolutely clear about that. And that's why Congress has to be called back into session right now, today to begin debate on legislation that would either approve of or deny the president's illegal war against Iran. Now, I am praying this morning for the safety of our US Forces in the region and overseas. (02:47–03:01)
