Bill Maher sets humiliating trap for California Sen. Adam Schiff over Trump’s Iran attacks
NY Post
Bill Maher pulled a fast one on California Sen. Adam Schiff while discussing the attacks on Iran — leading the Democrat to inadvertently throw shade at the Obama administration.
On his show “Real Time” Friday, Maher read a 2011 quote from the Obama camp about presidential power in authorizing military strikes — without naming the former commander-in-chief.
“This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That’s too vague for you?” Maher asked Schiff, who has loudly opposed Trump’s decision to strike Iran without congressional approval.
“Totally vague,” the senator replied confidently.
“OK. Because that’s from Obama about Libya,” the host revealed.
“Well, Obama made the argument, um, initially that he could go into Syria without an authorization,” the senator said while trying to gather himself, adding that he opposed the move.
