Thomas Massie just went absolutely NUCLEAR on Trump’s regime change war in Venezuela.
“How did it work out in Cuba, Libya, Iraq, or Syria?”
“Do we want another Afghanistan in the Western Hemisphere?”
“This is about oil and regime change.”
“Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs, weapons of mass destruction, that did not exist.”
“Now it’s the same playbook, except we’re told that drugs are the WMDs.”
“James Madison warned us that in no part of the Constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war and peace to the legislature—not the executive.”
“Madison called it the crown jewel of Congress.”
“The framers understood a simple truth: to the extent that war-making power devolves to one person, liberty dissolves.”
“By escalating toward war, we would predictably create countless refugees.”
“At the same time, this Administration has moved to end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and deport them back to the very regime it condemns.”
“Which is it?”
“Are we prepared to receive swarms of the 25 million Venezuelans who will likely become refugees?”
