David Cicilline (D-RI) got roasted on Twitter on Friday after he posted a letter he sent to Speaker Ryan demanding Congress restrict President Trump from being able to launch a nuclear strike first.
This is how crazy the Dems have become. They actually think they have the authority to do this.
H.R. 669, the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act would prohibit the President of the United States from conducting a first-use nuclear strike without prior authorization from Congress.
According to Cicilline, President Trump’s ‘words are harmful’, making the situation with North Korea even worse. Apparently giving North Korea two $2 billion nuclear water reactors like former President Bill Clinton did and ignoring their threats like former President Hussein Obama did made the situation better…
You just can’t make this stuff up.
If President @realDonaldTrump won't take nuclear war off the table, Congress must. My letter to @SpeakerRyan today. pic.twitter.com/GOBPM6SqcZ

Another Dem genius, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) tweeted out his support for the bill and he got roasted too:
Thnx @davidcicilline for supporting our bill (H.R. 669) to restrict @POTUS from launching nuclear first strike. Agree issue must be debated. https://t.co/0Fp1mYcANQ

Sorry. Congress isn’t the commander in chief. Stunts like this embolden the enemy.

.@POTUS is NCA. Congress is not. This is a borderline treasonous coup. https://t.co/ZjUI93lD03
