Unprincipled vs Constitutionalist?

Only three days ago MTG was warning of the split in their cult if an attack on Iran went ahead. She could have said an act of war needs to go through Congress, but that's a bridge too far for MAGA.

But, now that an illegal war has begun, she's going after the clear voiced, Constitution supporting rep AOC. And that is something the corporate media is pushing.

AOC needs to go back on offense. Curious to see if that would get any coverage. (I defer to AOC and her methodology for fighting the cult).

Then we see an opinion like this. Completely ignoring the law of the land.

"AOC howls about impeaching Trump. But president had the authority to bomb Iran. | Opinion
If the president is not able to respond to a hostile regime building weapons that could destroy entire American cities, then I'm not sure what else would allow him to act."
