The Truth About Trump's Illegal Strike That Congress Tried to Hide | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report from The Intercept by Alex Emmons detailing how lawmakers like Senator Tim Kaine and Representative Adam Schiff are demanding legal justification from the Trump administration for the unauthorised missile strikes in Syria. Graham discusses how the executive branch has steadily usurped war-making powers from Congress ever since the 2001 Post-9/11 Authorisation for Use of Military Force (AUMF)—a mechanism abused by Bush, Obama, and now Trump. He critiques the bipartisan consensus for endless war, the hypocrisy of corporate Democrats cheering militarism, and why true progressive anti-war leadership is desperately needed.
