"He helped create the crisis and then he stopped the attacks," the candidate said
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders was decidedly not impressed with President Donald Trump’s decision to call for a military strike on Iran and then, minutes before it was to occur, calling it off.
During his appearance on Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan asked Sanders about Trump’s decision, saying, “Was President Trump’s decision this week to call of that strike the right one?”Trump Will Look to Profit Off His Presidential LibrarySanders chuckled at the question, then responded, “See, it’s like somebody setting a fire to a basket full of paper and then putting it out. He helped create the crisis and then he stopped the attacks.
He then concluded, “I will do everything I can number one to stop a war with Iran… Let’s remember what we learned in civics when we were kids. It is the United States Congress, under our Constitution, that has war-making authority, not the president of the United States. If he attacks Iran in my view that would be unconstitutional.”
