Bernie Sanders: Saudi War In Yemen Is Worst Humanitarian Disaster On The Planet – RealClearPolitics

Sen. Bernie Sanders joins FNC’s Bret Baier to discuss the effort in the Senate to bring U.S. involvement in the Saudi war in Yemen to an end.


“Sen. Mike Lee (conservatives) and progressives have been making this point,” Sanders said. “For decades, under Republican presidents and Democratic presidents, Republicans Congresses and Democratic Congresses, the Congress of the United States has abdicated its constitutional responsibility for war-making. It is not the president who has the responsibility under the Constitution to send our young men and women to war, it is the Congress. And we have got to take it back.”
