unavailable to take a call of such national security importance.

Leavitt revealed the specifics of the outreach, exposing the disingenuous nature of the complaints.

"In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn't be reached," she explained. "We tried him before the strike and he didn't pick up the phone, but he was briefed after, as well as Chuck Schumer was briefed prior to the strike."

He didn’t want to mess up his phone with his hands dripping Astroglide and Preparation H.

More Karoline Leavitt:

“We did make bipartisan calls, to Thomas Massie and the Democrats. He should be a Democrat because he is more aligned with them than with the Republican Party. The White House made calls to congressional leadership.”

Personally, I wouldn’t have called them at all.
Democrats would have sent warnings to Iran.

So where was Hakeem Jeffries? At some anti-American protest? In a hotel snuffing coke with hookers? Inquiring minds want to know how such a person in such a high position is “unavailable” to take a call from the President 24x7.

Which is likely why they’re so upset about it all.

Demonicrats give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States of America.

Demonicrats should never be notified of any military or other presidential action ahead of time, because they will leak it to the MSM or other enemies of the United States.

"In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn't be reached,"

DEI types have been doing this ever since voice mail started.

Everybody, the whole world, was told 2 weeks..

Even our domestic enemies in Congress were told 2 weeks.

How’d they figure it’d be only 2 days?

:)

Their claim? The White House recklessly bypassed congressional leadership — specifically Democrats — before the operation, supposedly violating the Constitution. It’s a laughable accusation, especially considering that they had no such concerns when Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Joe Biden launched military strikes without congressional approval or proper notification.

 

Whiny little bitches need to understand the AUMF. Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden didn't need prior approval, and neither did Trump.

I think his exact words were “sometime within the next 2 weeks”

So, what would domestic enemies think? They’d get another 2 weeks, right?

Ahead of schedule and under budget would be a nice poke in the eye to enemies foreign and domestic..

The two-party system isn’t constitutional. There is no requirement to inform both parties. The Administration informed both houses of Congress through their leadership. That’s all that needs to be said.

The Congressional Notification must be “within 48 hours”, and that 48 hours is AFTER the military action, as evidenced by the word “took”, rather than “to be taken” in clause (b) under the Notification requirement. They were notified, and it was less than 48 hours after the strike. Zero Violation. Next?
