Democrats are being mocked and criticized for their temper tantrums in the wake of President Trump’s ordered airstrike in Iraq.
Remarks from Sen. Lindsey Graham indicating that he was briefed about the imminent strike that killed an Iranian military leader sent the left into spasms over why Democrat leaders were not included in the discussions.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was seen at Mar-a-Lago on Monday and Tuesday, says on Fox News, “I was briefed about the potential operation when I was down in Florida.”

“I was briefed about the potential operation when I was down in Florida. I appreciate being brought into the orbit.” the Republican from South Carolina told Fox News, indicating he was with the president at his Palm Beach home.
The fact that top Senate Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other members of the “Gang of Eight” were not briefed on the matter of national security sparked an outcry.
Sorry – the President briefed his golf buddy and not the Gang of 8?

Most likely everyone at Mar a Lago knew before Congress.

“This action was taken without the consultation of the Congress,” Pelosi declared in a tweet condemning the president’s decision.
The Trump Admin has conducted strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an AUMF against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress.
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 3, 2020
And the complaints continued to pour in.
The Trump administration did not inform Chuck Schumer before its assassination of Iranian military leader Qassem Suleimani. Schumer is a member of the “Gang of 8” lawmakers who presidents traditionally keep updated about sensitive national security issues. https://t.co/pz0wuCLw9S

Trump bootlicker @LindseyGrahamSC was briefed about the potential hit on former Quds Force leader #Soleimani, but NOT the Gang of 8⁉️ https://t.co/pIq5oNi1in

But Democrats were schooled in short order as Twitter users took to reminding them of their track record and delivering a brutal reality check.
If Chuck Schumer was told about the U.S. strike on Soleimani beforehand, he would have:
1. Leaked it to the press and told Iran
2. Informed the House to start the next impeachment
You can’t be screaming about impeaching Trump and then be mad he leaves you out of the loop.— All Hearing Ear ? (@1AllHearingEar) January 3, 2020
Great. Now do Obama in Libya.

Schumer would have called Iran, that’s why Trump leaves them out of the loop!

Now would be a good time to tell us that the Iranian Quds Forces are a humanitarian organization. pic.twitter.com/uJt4roeNjs

His targeting is called Leadership.
NOT giving advance notice to a leaking Congress is called Wisdom.

Maybe we could send pallets of cash and ask them to please be nice instead.

Why would you tell his friends? https://t.co/lG2KTOuj1C

The Democrats and their media spokes have done literally everything they could to stop Trump from getting elected, undermine his Presidency and remove him from office.
And he was really supposed to go to them with his military plans?
Don't be stupid#GangOfEight
