Trump Tears Into 5 Republicans Over Venezuela Rebuke
HuffPost
The president named the GOP senators who should “never be elected to office again” after they voted with Democrats to limit his powers.
President Donald Trump attacked the five Republican senators who sided with Democrats on a largely symbolic vote to curb the president from using military force against Venezuela.
The Senate voted 52 to 47 to advance Sen. Tim Kaine’s (D-Va.) resolution under the War Powers Act earlier Thursday, with Republican Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), Todd Young (Ind.), and Josh Hawley (Mo.) crossing party lines to serve the president a rare rebuke.
The measure would require congressional approval for any further attacks on the South American country, but has virtually no chance of becoming law because Trump would likely veto the legislation if it were to pass the Republican-controlled House.
In a Truth Social post shortly afterward, Trump said, “Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America.”
He named the five GOP lawmakers and said they should “never be elected to office again.”
