A video of progressive Senator Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, reacting live at a rally to the news that President Donald Trump had carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites has gone viral on social media.

Bernie Sanders said to a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma: "This is a statement from Donald Trump. Quote: 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran etc.'"

In his rebuttal, the left-leaning politician agreed with the crowds, condemning the actions of the government and Donald Trump as ‘grossly unconstitutional’, stating that only a vote in Congress can be used to decide if America should enter an international conflict.
