The independent Michigan congressman joined several Republican lawmakers in blasting the strike on Iranian general Qassem Soleimani without Congress' approval.
Michigan Congressman Justin Amash said Donald Trump"sells troops" to Saudi Arabia or the highest bidder, as he joined several GOP lawmakers in blasting the strike on Iran General Qassem Soleimani without Congress' approval.
On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said he"didn't see" any specific evidence Iran planned to attack four embassies, despite Trump's claim an attack was"imminent." Amash promptly rebuked that assertion, tweeting: Trump responded to criticism over his unilateral decision to kill Soleimani by claiming the Iranian general was plotting to attack U.S. embassies -- which Amash outright rejected.
The former GOP rep also defended and applauded Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz for his"consistency" in supporting the War Powers Act to restrict the president's authorization.
