(Breitbart)—Left-wing radio host Charlamagne tha God said Democrat lawmakers “sound like hypocrites” for demanding President Donald Trump seek congressional approval for bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, noting that past presidents have taken similar action, and it never appeared to be “a thing” politicians had a total meltdown over.
“This is one of those times when politicians sound like hypocrites,” Charlamagne told his co-host Morgyn V. Wood, citing Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who called out President Trump for the U.S. airstrikes, arguing the commander-in-chief should have asked Congress “for authorization to do this.”

“Presidents ordering military action without congressional approval has become pretty routine,” Charlamagne asserted, before inquiring, “Is it always a thing when they [other presidents] do it?”
