Lankford says he'd be 'apoplectic' if Biden was striking boats 'with this level of insight'

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) questioned the Trump administration’s strikes on Venezuelan vessels without the approval of Congress.

“The administration needs to give insight into Congress. That’s part of it. If this was happening with this level of insight under the Biden administration, I’d be apoplectic,” Lankford said during a Thursday appearance on C-SPAN’s new “Ceasefire” program.

He appeared alongside Democratic Sen. Chris Coons (Del.), who also shared that he was shocked after learning in the press about the attacks ordered by the White House.

“I serve on the Intelligence Committee. He serves as a senior Democrat on defense. This is typical consultation,” Lankford told host Dasha Burns.

have ceded the power of Congress to Been A Dick Donald, you and your buddies are responsible for the lawlessness of this regime, so don't go crying because you failed to do your Constitutional duty to Advise and Consent to the Executive Branch.

The remedy to this is TO DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS.
